Ask us anything, within reason
This answers general questions about the treatments we do: what a procedure is, how two techniques differ, what recovery usually looks like, what happens at a consultation. What it will not do is diagnose you, tell you whether you are a candidate, or quote you a figure — nobody can do those from a text box, and a tool that pretends otherwise is selling something.
General answers, in your own language- It refuses to diagnose, and says so
- Nothing you type is stored
Ask me about any treatment we do — what it involves, how it differs from the alternatives, or what the trip is actually like. I will tell you when a question needs a doctor rather than me, which is often.
This is a general information tool, not medical advice, and it is not a consultation. It cannot see you, it does not know your history, and it will be wrong about your particular case more often than it is right. Anything that matters should be put to a doctor.
What it refuses, and why
A clinic assistant that answers everything is worse than useless — it is a liability for the clinic and a hazard for the patient. So this one is built around what it will not say.
It will not diagnose
Not a mark, not a lump, not a pain, not a change. No model can do this responsibly from text, and the cost of getting it wrong is somebody who does not see a doctor when they should have. Ask it whether something is worth having looked at and it will tell you to have it looked at.
It will not say whether you are a candidate
Candidacy depends on donor density, skin, health and what you actually want, and the first three need examining. There is a rough self-check on this site that will tell you when the answer is clearly no, which is the only part that can honestly be automated.
It will not quote you
Prices on this site are ranges because cases differ. An assistant inventing a figure for you would be making a promise nobody authorised.
What it is genuinely for
Getting from not knowing what to ask to having a question worth asking. Most people arrive at a consultation without the vocabulary, and an hour with a surgeon is a bad place to learn what a graft is.
