How to go about making enquiries and bookings.
Plastic surgery, and
particularly cosmetic surgery, is a very
visual discipline – all operations are individualised to
the particular needs of the patient, and therefore, it is
essential for me to see the extent of the problem, in
order to offer assessments and / or costs for the various
surgical procedures. For example, liposuction may be a 20 minute
procedure or a 2 hour procedure. Noses
may require just tip work, or a full rhinoplasty. Tummies may be treated with either
liposuction alone, a mini tummy tuck, or a full tummy tuck
– all have different indications, and all have varying
costs.
All email enquiries sent to me will be personally
answered within 24-48 hours. In order to streamline this
process, I would ask that you please send the following
basic information at a minimum coupled with
pictures of the problem areas (frontal view and
profile view initially). The following can be cut and
pasted to your email.
- Where you are from.
- The procedure that you are considering.
- Your age
- Any significant past medical or surgical history.
- Medication and allergies.
- Weight and height (if body contouring planned)
- Whether or not you smoke.
Please also note the following:
I only operate in Cape Town, and do not
make specific referrals to surgeons elsewhere in the
country.
As part of your basic information gathering, patients
planning to travel to Cape Town, South Africa
for cosmetic surgery are encouraged to read my advice page
