Before surgery
What you are agreeing to when you sign, in plain language, before the paperwork.
Consent is only meaningful if you understand what you are consenting to. We go through this at the consultation and again on the morning of surgery, and you are free to stop and ask about anything on the form.
The signed document is countersigned by the surgeon and a copy is given to you to keep.
Technique, approximate graft numbers, the area being treated and the density target agreed at consultation.
That growth is gradual, judged at twelve to eighteen months, and that a second session may be wanted later as untreated hair continues to thin.
Swelling, temporary numbness, shock loss, scarring at the donor site, and the small risks of infection or poor healing.
Local anaesthetic with nerve blocks, and sedation if you have chosen it, along with the fasting and driver requirements that go with it.
Clinical photographs are taken for your record. Any use beyond your file requires a separate, specific authorisation you can decline without affecting your care.
Disclosing medications and conditions honestly, following pre-operative instructions, and attending follow-up appointments.
You can withdraw consent at any point before surgery begins, including on the day. The reservation policy governs the deposit, but nobody will pressure you to proceed with an operation you have doubts about.
Ask before the morning of surgery — call the clinic and we will walk through it.
Consultations are free, measured and without obligation — in Newport Beach or by video.
