Consultation process
Mr Carver will want you to be very precise about the features you want to change and the appearance you want to achieve. A key part of the consultation process is producing images of your present appearance and then the desired result. These are kept in your file as a reference. Matching photos of your “before” appearance with previous patients and their results will help you to visualize the expected outcome. He will provide an honest assessment of whether your goals are achievable or indeed desirable. He will only accept your request for surgery if the predicted result is realistic and attainable with very low risk. He is also mindful that not having surgery is sometimes a wise course.
