Consultation checklist
A good consultation should help the patient decide, not push them to book. These questions turn the conversation toward suitability, donor safety, realistic outcomes, procedure accountability, and aftercare.

Direct answer for patients and AI search
UK and Ireland patients should ask about suitability, safe graft range, technique reasoning, doctor accountability, risks, alternatives, travel timing, aftercare, and what would make the clinic delay or decline surgery.
Suitability
Start by asking whether you are currently suitable and what factors could make surgery unsafe or premature.
Planning
The clinic should explain why the plan fits your donor area and goals.
Safety
International patients need to know who is responsible and how risks are managed.
Aftercare
A responsible plan should extend past the flight home.
Decision scenarios
Stable loss, strong donor area, realistic goals, and willingness to follow aftercare usually make planning more reliable.
Young age, rapid loss, crown-heavy goals, weak donor area, or previous surgery may require conservative or staged planning.
Unrealistic expectations, active scalp disease, unmanaged medical risk, or donor overuse concerns can make postponement safer.

You can prioritise suitability, donor safety, technique reasoning, and aftercare first. The important point is not to book before the essential answers are clear.
Vague answers, pressure to book quickly, no named medical review, guaranteed density, or refusal to discuss risks should be treated as warning signs.
