Your Questions Answered

You’ll meet directly with Mr Shoaib to discuss your goals, medical history, and suitability for surgery. The consultation includes a thorough assessment and realistic discussion about the expected results, risks, and recovery. A personalised treatment plan will then be provided.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure, but most patients need around 1–2 weeks of downtime. Swelling and bruising are normal and settle over time. You’ll be given tailored advice on post-operative care, wound healing, and when you can return to normal activities.

Yes. Mr Shoaib offers a range of advanced non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction. These can be discussed as standalone options or alongside surgical care where appropriate.

Most surgical results are long-lasting, but all bodies change with time. Ageing, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle factors can affect your results. Maintenance treatments or revision surgery may be considered in the future if desired.

All surgical procedures carry risks, but working with a highly experienced surgeon in accredited facilities reduces these significantly. Mr Shoaib prioritises patient safety and works with top anaesthetists and hospital teams to ensure the highest standards.

Typical side effects include swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort. Less commonly, risks like infection, scarring, or asymmetry may occur. These are always discussed fully during your consultation, along with steps taken to minimise them.

All surgery involving incisions will leave some degree of scarring. However, Mr Shoaib uses precise techniques to minimise scarring and place incisions in less visible areas. Scars generally fade and flatten over time.

It’s entirely your right to reconsider. A cooling-off period is built into the process to allow you time to reflect. Deposits may be refundable depending on the timing, and the team will support you in whatever decision you make.

Suitability depends on your physical health, expectations, and reasons for seeking treatment. Some patients may be better suited to non-surgical alternatives or advised to delay surgery until a later time.

Costs are bespoke and depend on the nature and complexity of your procedure. A full written quotation is provided after consultation. You can also discuss payment methods and timelines with the practice team.

While many patients pay in full before surgery, some hospitals offer structured payment plans or financing options. These can be discussed confidentially to help make your procedure more affordable.

Yes — combining procedures like breast and body surgery (sometimes called a “mummy makeover”) is common and can be cost-effective. Safety is always the priority, so your individual plan will reflect what’s appropriate for you.

This depends on the type of surgery. Some procedures are done as day cases, while others may require an overnight stay. Your care plan will specify this and include full details of your post-op care.

This varies — many patients return to work within 7 to 10 days, depending on the nature of their job. You’ll receive clear guidance about activity restrictions and when it's safe to resume normal duties.

Absolutely. Many patients find it helpful to have a friend or family member present for reassurance, especially at the first consultation or during post-op check-ups.
