Am I a candidate?
Most suitability checks are a lead form with a questionnaire painted on the front. This one uses the criteria our own surgeons apply, and it will tell you no. If something needs sorting out first, you will see what it is and why it matters.

- Every answer explains itself, including the ones you won't like
This is a screening tool, not a medical opinion. It cannot examine you, read your notes or see your photographs, and a surgeon who does any of those things may reach a different conclusion. Nothing here should delay you seeing your own doctor.
Criteria by procedure
What each operation actually requires, written out rather than scored.
-
FUE Hair Transplant
Under 25 the pattern is still developing. Surgery is still possible, but the plan has to hold grafts back for the loss that has not happened yet.
-
DHI Hair Transplant
DHI suits smaller, denser areas and does not require shaving the recipient zone.
-
Rhinoplasty
The nose finishes growing at around 17 in women and 18 in men. Operating earlier risks the shape changing afterwards.
-
Face & Neck Lift
Smoking matters more for a facelift than for almost any other procedure, because the result depends on skin flaps healing.
-
Breast Augmentation
Implant size is chosen from your chest measurements and tissue cover, not from a cup size.
-
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is often done for neck and back pain as much as for appearance.
-
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A lift repositions the tissue you have. If you also want more volume, it is combined with an implant.
-
Gynecomastia
True gynaecomastia is glandular tissue, which does not respond to training or weight loss. The examination separates it from fat.
-
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and repairs separated muscle. It is not a weight-loss operation, which is why the weight questions carry the most weight here.
-
Arm Lift
An arm lift trades loose skin for a scar that runs along the inner arm. How visible that scar is to you matters more than any measurement.
-
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A Brazilian butt lift needs donor fat. Below a BMI of about 20 there is usually not enough to harvest, which is the one procedure where being very slim counts against you.
-
Labiaplasty
This is performed for comfort as often as for appearance, and both are valid reasons.
