Surgeon Quality and Expertise

1. Qualifications

Your male cosmetic surgeon should be fully qualified to carry out your procedure. Most male genital surgery procedures are carried out by Urologists and Plastic Surgeons. In the case of Plastic Surgeons, these procedures are mostly aesthetic in nature, whereas a Urologist will also focus on functional aspects too.
You can check your Surgeons qualifications by visiting the website of the general medical council. This organisation is responsible for the regulation of all Doctors in the United Kingdom. The registration details will show good standing for the Doctor and details of the Speciality in which they are allowed to practice.
Moorgate Andrology reviews all qualifications and status of all the male cosmetic surgeons we work with. The hospitals in which they operate also carry out comprehensive due diligence checks.

2. Surgical Experience

The experience of your Surgeon maybe a little more difficult to ascertain than the qualifications. Be sure to ask your Surgeon how many procedures similar to yours he or she has performed. All Surgeons keep up to date statistics of their work so that they will have this information readily in almost all cases. You could also inquire where the Surgeon did his training. Was this in Europe or beyond?
Many Surgeons continue in areas such as research and may be able to point you in the direction of medical papers that they may have written about your procedure. Moorgate Andrology work alongside Surgeons who have published in many scientific journals, especially in Urology.

3. Consultation skills

We have added consultation skills because this is where everything starts. Make sure that you are comfortable and confident with your Surgeon. Go with your gut instinct. It’s really important that you can assure yourself that you are in good hands. Consultations with Surgeons can last anything up to two hours. In most cases, up to an hour for Moorgate Andrology Surgeons is the norm.

Ask yourself if you got all of the information you needed? Did you get clear answers to the questions that you asked? Did you get the opportunity to ask the male cosmetic surgeon the questions you wanted? Are you clear about what can and cannot be achieved for you?

Moorgate Andrology ensures that all Patients have plenty of time in consultation. Occasionally consultation lists can run over as a result. However, remember next time it could be you need answers to those vital questions.

If the answer is “yes” to those questions, then you have found the right Surgeon for you.
