It’s a question that goes far beyond whether a particular procedure is technically possible.
Your overall health, medical history, expectations, lifestyle and ability to manage the recovery period all need to be considered.
That’s why a thorough consultation is so important. It gives us an opportunity to understand what you would like to achieve, assess whether surgery can safely and realistically deliver that, and discuss the potential risks, limitations and recovery involved.

Patient selection is an important part of safe, responsible surgical practice.
