Question 1

What should I bring to my consultation?

Accepted Answer

Bring a list of your current medications, any relevant medical records (especially if you have had previous nasal surgery), and photographs showing what you like or dislike about your nose. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring both. Most importantly, come with your questions written down so nothing is forgotten.

Question 2

Can I have a virtual consultation?

Accepted Answer

An initial video call can be arranged to discuss your goals and answer general questions. However, a face-to-face consultation with 3D imaging is required before any surgery can be planned. The clinical examination and VECTRA simulation cannot be replicated virtually.

Question 3

What is the cooling-off period?

Accepted Answer

A minimum two-week cooling-off period is mandatory between your consultation and surgery. This is a requirement of good practice and ensures you have adequate time to consider your decision without feeling rushed. Mr Whitehead fully supports this period.

Question 4

How soon after consultation can I have surgery?

Accepted Answer

After the mandatory two-week cooling-off period, surgery can typically be scheduled within four to eight weeks, depending on availability. Urgent functional cases may be accommodated sooner where clinically appropriate.

Question 5

What if I decide not to proceed?

Accepted Answer

That is completely fine. The consultation carries no obligation whatsoever. Many patients attend a consultation to gather information and take time before deciding. Your consultation fee is non-refundable but there is never any pressure to book surgery.
