For many years now there has been a rather large stigma between men and cosmetic surgery. Some men believe that if they have any type of cosmetic surgery they will lose a part of their masculinity. But why is there this stigma? Typically men are shyer during consultations due to this which makes the consultations brief and not informative. We thought it would be useful to show you the most typical questions asked by men during their consultation!

1) How many men get this surgery?

This is a very very common question asked by men. This is because knowing that other men do get cosmetic surgery eases men during the consultation. In any case, knowing you’re not alone is a comfort to anyone.

2) How long do I have to wait before going back to the gym and other sports?

Most men take pride in their health and appearance so having a break from the gym can be quite daunting. Some men’s main priority is to get back to the gym as soon as possible; however, it is very important to know your surgeon’s guide time for recovery so you can stay safe and healthy.

3) What are the risks?

Male or female it is very important to know the risks associated with the surgery. This may help you to decide if you are going ahead with the procedure. No matter which gender you are, it is important to consult with your surgeon and fully understand the risks involved prior to undertaking any surgery.

4) What do I have to stop in order to be able to go ahead with the procedure?

This is a very important question. If someone is a smoker, on certain medications, has a health condition or drinks heavily this can affect not only the healing but also how the surgery may go. Things like smoking may affect the blood as well as how you will react. We recommend whilst in your consultation, you ask as many questions as you can to ensure you completely understand what the surgeon is saying and what will happen!

I had my first ever surgery here so as you can imagine I was very nervous but I had an excellent experience. All the staff were professional, caring and helpful. I felt like I was in good hands and that the staff really looked after me. Very big thank you to the team and surgeon for such a positive experience and I would recommend this clinic.

Dedicated professionals who know the art of their craft. From the moment my dad and l walked into the reception and spoke to the beautiful staff the love compassion and most importantly the care before and after my dad's surgery was second to none. My father was very nervous about the whole process but the staff were calm and reassuring which helped him settle. The following weeks were the hardest for my dad in recovery after surgery but the follow ups and the love from the staff seemed to bring his self esteem and confidence back. We are very happy with results and can't thank them enough. Special mention for the surgeon thank you doc you gave me my dad back!!!

I can only talk positively about this clinic where I had a cyst removal. The service is excellent, all the staff and doctors are very professional and friendly. I was assisted by three practitioners during my surgery, one being the surgeon. The clinical procedures and risk managemement practices are excellent, to minimise any risks. All post-op appointments with nurses (shout out to Nicola) were included in original price.

Really happy with my experience at CfS and happy to recommend. My surgeon was great and all the staff are super friendly and supportive throughout my recovery. I"m now really pleased with the outcome (10 weeks on) and am booking in for another procedure later this year. [i also did all my research in terms of ensuring the surgeon was GMC registered and the clinic had good CQC reports etc].

I booked an appointment for an Osteoma removal (hard bone, small growth) from my forehead. I was rather nervous about the whole thing, so booked at short notice so that I couldn't back out of it. Apart from some rushing around getting the correct paperwork in place prior to the procedure, everything went very well. I felt well looked after before and after. I didn't feel much pain (local anesthetic) during or after, the bruising and scar mainly faded within a fortnight, and there seems to be very little sign of a scar now, three months after the removal.Thank you very much!
