How

Assessment is by clinical interview. This takes up to an hour and consists of an interview with a consultant clinical psychologist. Some brief questionnaires are also completed. Sight of GP records and the chance to discuss relevant points in the interview can significantly improve the quality of the report.

Where

The assessment is carried out over any of the popular video conferencing apps. This means no travel is required, appointment times can be flexible and the Cosmetic Surgery Psych service can be provided to any one any where in the country.

What

All areas that are relevant to ensure that psychologically informed and safe surgery and aesthetic procedure choices are made are assessed. Pre surgery assessment by surgeons or case workers can identify current or past factors that warrant further investigation and expert mental health opinion. Detailed assessment of such areas will be made and expert opinion on the likely relationship to the psychological outcome of surgery is provided in the report.
