Consultation

Your consultation is an important part of the treatment journey. It is the stage where we assess suitability, discuss your goals, explain options clearly and help you decide whether treatment is appropriate for you. At Merchant City Medical Group, consultations are designed to be informative, professional and patient-focused.

What Happens During a Consultation?

During your consultation, a member of the clinical team will discuss:
  • Your concerns and treatment goals
  • Your medical history
  • Your suitability for treatment
  • The likely benefits and limitations of treatment
  • Risks, recovery and aftercare
  • Expected timelines and realistic outcomes

Hair Restoration Consultations

For hair restoration procedures, consultation may include assessment of:
  • Hair loss pattern
  • Donor area quality and density
  • Hairline design
  • Likely graft numbers
  • Long-term hair loss planning
This helps ensure treatment is planned responsibly and with realistic expectations.

Why Consultation Matters

Not every patient is suitable for every procedure. A proper consultation protects patients from unrealistic expectations and helps ensure that any treatment recommended is appropriate, safe and likely to deliver meaningful benefit.

At Merchant City Medical Group, we believe honest advice is just as important as technical treatment delivery.

After Your Consultation

Following your consultation, you will have a clearer understanding of the options available, the likely treatment plan and the next steps if you decide to proceed.

You will also have the opportunity to ask further questions and make an informed decision without pressure.

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?
