The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is an intensely personal one. Before you are able to make this choice, you should carefully consider a number of points:

• who is going to undertake your surgery?
• who is going to anaesthetise you?
• which hospital are you going to be treated in?
• what are the benefits and risks of your proposed surgery?
• what is the likely outcome of surgery?
• will this surgery achieve your expectations?

By now you should have read Mr Sterne's CV. Mr Sterne only works with fully accredited NHS Consultant Anaesthetists. He only operates in leading, well established Private Hospitals.

The following pages aim to provide you with up to date information on the surgical techniques, the risks and benefits of each procedure and the likely postoperative recovery period. The information provided reflects Mr Sterne's current opinions and may be updated as practices develop.

The likely outcomes of surgery and the liklihood of achieving your expectations can only be assessed on an individual basis after consultation.
