Choosing cosmetic surgery is a significant step which is important to consider carefully and thoroughly. People seek cosmetic surgery for a variety of reasons. Cosmetic surgery involves much more than physical changes, it encompasses psychological, emotional, financial and social factors. For anyone contemplating cosmetic surgery, it is essential to consider and understand these aspects to ensure that an informed decision is made. At Dynamic Change Consultants, we have a team of specialist psychologists working alongside plastic surgeons to provide pre-surgery assessment as well as post-operative support.
Pre-Surgery Consultation
Speaking to a specialist psychologist prior to making a final decision about surgery is a vital step which ensures that the individual has the best chance of being psychologically prepared for the process of surgery and the changes that the cosmetic procedure will bring.
The pre-surgery psychology consultation usually lasts between 60-90 minutes and involve a verbal discussion and completion of some questionnaires. The psychologist will explore personal motivations for surgery, and any expectations that the person might have in relation to the procedure. It is also important to identify any psychological conditions which may have an impact on the experience.
A report would then be sent to the surgeon. We believe that when people feel understood and supported, it can enhance the communication with the surgeon. By taking a holistic approach to cosmetic surgery which includes psychological considerations, we aim to enhance patient satisfaction, support individuals with their long-term emotional well-being and contribute to better outcomes.
The pre-surgery consultation sometimes helps to identify the need for psychological therapy. Working with a therapist can help make sense of thoughts and feelings and offers a space to work through the decision-making process and to feel psychologically prepared for the cosmetic procedure.

Post-Operative Support
Pre-surgery psychological consultations are also useful for identifying when it might be helpful for an individual to have some post-surgical psychological support. For some individuals the process surrounding surgery may involve elements of emotional and physical stress. Being able to tailor therapy to an individual’s needs can help with the post-surgical adjustment process, enhancing recovery.
