Decision Tools

Make the consultation more useful.

Save these checklists for the point when research becomes a real conversation. They are designed to help you compare plans, not to choose a treatment without a qualified clinician.

01

Consultation Checklist

Questions to ask about suitability, alternatives, provider experience, expected outcome, recovery, follow-up and complications.

  • Why is this option suitable for my goal?
  • What alternatives should I compare?
  • Who performs the treatment and what is their relevant training?
  • What recovery should I realistically plan for?
  • What follow-up is included?
02

Cost Comparison Checklist

Compare the complete plan rather than a headline price.

  • Consultation and imaging
  • Procedure or session fees
  • Anaesthesia or facility fees where relevant
  • Products, devices or materials
  • Follow-up, revisions and aftercare
03

Recovery Planner

Think through the practical impact before choosing a date.

  • Time away from work or school
  • Exercise and activity restrictions
  • Sun, travel or social-event considerations
  • Transport or support after treatment
  • Follow-up appointment timing
04

Provider Conversation

Useful prompts when you are comparing practices.

  • How often do you perform this treatment?
  • How do you decide who is not a good candidate?
  • How do you handle complications or unexpected recovery?
  • Can you explain the consent and follow-up process?
  • What should make me postpone or reconsider?
