Before you choose a clinic
Questions worth asking before an aesthetic treatment
A useful consultation should help you understand who will assess and treat you, why a plan may suit your anatomy, what its limits and risks are, and how follow-up works. You do not have to decide during the consultation.
01
Eight questions to take with you
- 01
Who assesses me?
Will the physician who evaluates me also perform or directly supervise the treatment?
This makes clinical responsibility clear before you proceed.
- 02
Why this plan?
Why does this option suit my anatomy and goals, and what alternatives should I consider?
A plan should follow an assessment rather than a trend or a fixed package.
- 03
What is realistic?
What change is realistic for me, what are the limits, and when can the result be assessed?
Natural-looking can mean different things; use your own reference points and ask for specific limits.
- 04
What are the risks?
What common effects and important complications should I know about, and how are they managed?
Every procedure carries risk, even when recovery is usually short.
- 05
What will be used?
Which product, device or technique will be used, and can I see its name and traceable details?
The exact product or device matters when comparing options and planning future care.
- 06
What does recovery involve?
What should I avoid, what symptoms are expected, and which warning signs need urgent contact?
Aftercare should be clear before treatment, not discovered afterwards.
- 07
Who follows up?
Who can I contact after treatment, in which language, and when is follow-up recommended?
This is especially important if you are travelling or will leave Bangkok soon.
- 08
What is the full cost?
What is included in the quoted cost, and could aftercare or additional treatment cost extra?
Ask for the total scope before deciding rather than comparing headline prices alone.
02
Pause if you feel pressured
- You cannot meet or speak with the treating clinician before deciding.
- Risks, alternatives, product details or follow-up contacts are unclear.
- You are pushed to pay or add procedures before you have time to think.
- The outcome, duration or similarity to another person is described with absolute certainty.
03
Prepare for a useful consultation
- List medicines, supplements, allergies and medical conditions.
- Note previous injections, devices, surgery and approximate dates.
- Write down the two or three changes you care about most.
- Ask for an interpreter or communication support when needed.
