A good aesthetic consultation should give you time to explain what you hope to change, understand the available options and decide whether to proceed. You should not feel rushed into a procedure or asked to agree before your questions have been answered.
Bring useful information
Be ready to discuss relevant health conditions, allergies, medicines, previous procedures and any past reactions. Share your goals honestly and ask whether they are realistic. You can ask for written information to review at home.
Check the essentials
- Who will assess you and who will perform the procedure?
- What qualifications, registration and experience are relevant?
- What are the benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives?
- What will the full cost include?
- What aftercare and follow-up are available?
- How can you raise a concern or report a complication?
You can choose to wait
Informed consent means understanding the procedure and having a genuine choice. You can decline, ask for more time or seek another opinion. A trustworthy provider will respect that decision.
