Consultation

Your surgical "journey" involves many steps, which start with your consultation and end with your recovery process. Each of these is carefully managed by our professional staff to ensure your safety and wellbeing and to make your Form & Function experience a good one.

The length of initial consultation with your surgeon will vary depending on your presenting condition. Appointments regarding Skin Lesions are approximately 15 minutes each while appointments for larger procedures, such as Breast Reduction, are booked for 45–60 minutes. This is to allow adequate time for your surgeon to explain your surgery in detail, answer any questions you may have and complete the necessary pre-operative assessments and clinical photography.

It is advised that all patients prepare for their consultation by preparing a list of questions for their surgeon to ensure that all concerns are addressed at the time of consultation. A second consultation is sometimes required before proceeding to surgery, particularly if the patient has experienced weight loss or health concerns in the lead up to surgery.
