Merchant City Medical Group offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, from our state of the art clinics throughout the UK & Europe.

CONSULTATION

Your consultation at Merchant City Medical Group is complementary, unlike most clinics.

At your private consultation you will meet with one of our specialist team members, they will fully inform you about your procedure, what you can expect and also answer any relevant questions you may have.

Your specialist will review your medical history and will evaluate your suitability for the procedure, as well as help you set realistic expectations for your end result.

Initial consultations can be carried out over secure video calls, however if you prefer to have a face to face complimentary consultation, we will arrange this for you.

Merchant City Medical Group is here to provide an honest and impartial professional opinion. Our lead consultant, Mr Paul Mulholland, adds “This is a life changing journey for clients, no matter the pace you go, we are here to help you along the way, with honest advice, compassion and understanding.”

Cosmetic Procedure Screening Questionnaire

It can be used as a screening questionnaire to tell whether you might have BDD.

1) How often do you do you deliberately check your feature(s)? Not accidentally catch sight of it. Please include looking at your feature in a mirror or other reflective surfaces like a shop window or looking at it directly or feeling it with your fingers.
2) To what extent do you feel your feature(s) are currently ugly, unattractive or ‘not right’?
3) To what extent does your feature(s) currently cause you a lot of distress?
4) How often does your feature(s) currently lead you to avoid situations or activities?
5) To what extent does your feature(s) currently preoccupy you? That is, you think about it a lot and it is hard to stop thinking about it?
6) If you have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on your relationship with an existing partner? (e.g. affectionate feelings, number of arguments, enjoying activities together). If you do not have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on dating or developing a relationship?
7) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your ability to work or study, or your role as a homemaker? (Please rate this even if you are not working or studying: we are interested in your ability to work or study.)
8) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your social life? (with other people, e.g. parties, pubs, clubs, outings, visits, home entertainment)
9) To what extent, do you feel your appearance is the most important aspect of who you are?
