Contact & consultation

Arranging an assessment

Outpatient appointments are booked through the hospital on the numbers below; international patients can ask for Michael Yu. Bring a note of what you notice and when it started, whether you have had any previous surgery or injectable treatment in the upper face, whether the hairline has been changing, and any treatment for the eyes or eyelids. Each of those changes the plan rather than the conversation around it.

What the consultation should establish

Which of the three targets is producing the appearance you dislike; how the brow sits on the bone and whether the upper lid is hooded; how much hair-bearing scalp there is to hide an incision in; where the hairline would end up under the proposed plan; and whether you have any weakness around the eye on either side. You should leave able to say which target is being treated and what happens to the other two.

The questions worth asking

Which of the three things does this plan change, and what does it do to the other two? Where will the incision sit, and how visible will it be in my hair? Will my hairline move backwards? How much sensation in my scalp is likely to stay reduced? What would you do differently if the brow were already high? A surgeon who answers that last question specifically is assessing you rather than presenting to you.

Before you commit

No decision needs to be made at the first appointment. Take the plan away, read it against the guides on this site, and come back with questions. A discount that expires, or pressure to book before an assessment is complete, is information about the clinic rather than about your forehead.
