If you are considering cosmetic surgery you will be given the opportunity to discuss every aspect of treatment. This would include details of the procedure itself, the length of stay in hospital, whether local or general anaesthetic and your post-operative care. This is designed to prepare you for your free and confidential consultation with your highly qualified and experienced consultant surgeon who will discuss your aesthetic expectations. Many people with what they perceive as an unattractive feature have gained in confidence through simple corrective procedures. These benefits have increasingly become recognised by some doctors who have in the past tended to dismiss the patient's wish for cosmetic surgery as pure vanity.
