A1   As an initial step, we will send out an information pack on request. If you have any further questions or wish to book a consultation appointment, you can do so by telephoning our office on 0800 525 864 or email enq@cscentre.co.uk.

A2    No. Consultation appointments are free of charge* if you are making an initial enquiry into a cosmetic surgery procedure.
* Appointment terms: To book a free consultation, we require details of a valid credit/debit card. If you fail to attend, or cancel within 24 hours, we will deduct a standard charge of £50 from your card. If you attend, this consultation remains free of charge. Appointments will cost £50 paid in advance if card details are not given.

A3    Consultation appointments are always with the Consultant Surgeon who will perform the surgery. Under no circumstances will your consultation be with a nurse, sales person or counsellor.
<BACK>

A4    Not at all. The basis of every consultation is for you discuss your suitability for the procedure you are interested in, and for the Consultant Surgeon to explain in full detail all aspects of the surgery to you. You are then free to make an informed decision to proceed or not.
<BACK>

A5     In practically all cases, consultation appointments take place in the private hospital where the operation will be performed, and where the postoperative checks are given. Occasionally we will use a Care Quality Commission registered private consulting suite for a more localised clinic.
<BACK>

A6    The cost of performing private cosmetic surgery is not cheap, but you can rest assured that as well as being competitive, the price quoted will be a clearly understood fixed fee with no hidden charges. We will be pleased to quote you over the phone, subject to your requirements and location.
<BACK>

A7   We are usually able to schedule an agreed operating date within 2 – 6 weeks following a consultation with the Consultant Surgeon, subject to availability in theatre and the surgeon’s own diary.
<BACK>

A8    We are currently able to offer surgical procedures in the following locations.
1. South Yorkshire – serving patients from South, West, East and North Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire.
2. North East Lincolnshire – serving patients from North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, and East Riding of Yorkshire.

A9    Yes. Transport can be provided* to the hospital on the day of the operation and for the return journey home. However, it is not provided for the pre-operation consultation visit or postoperative appointments, although this can be arranged at an agreed fee.
*Available within a home-to-hospital radius of approx 75 miles.

A10  The The Cosmetic Surgery Centre offers finance options via First Medical Loans, who can be contacted on 0845 618 5375, or online by clicking on the link on our Finance Options page. Alternatively, if you request a brochure pack we will send out a leaflet within the literature, or you can call CSC on 0800 525 864 and we will complete the application for you.

A11    Every surgeon’s aim is to create a result that appears entirely natural. In the case of procedures such as breast surgery and nose reshaping, your surgeon will aim to redefine your features to compliment your existing shape and profile.
<BACK>

A12    The procedure performed and the type of exercise regularly taken determines when a patient may resume fitness activities. Your Consultant Surgeon will discuss a return to exercise during your consultation and also postoperatively.

A13    Information brochures are available to view or to be downloaded from websites by the
Department of Health at www.dh.gov.uk,
and the Quality Care Commission at www.cqc.org.uk
