The consultation

Professor Charles Malata consults privately at the Nuffield Health Cambridge Hospital and the Peterborough Fitzwilliam Hospital.  

The consultation is the most important step for any patient seeking plastic surgery. Professor Malata therefore allows sufficient time (45 – 60 minutes) for you to express your aims and concerns in an unhurried manner. Following a review of your objectives and medical history, Professor Malata will then assess you and comprehensively discuss your treatment options. All procedures are explained in detail using illustrative diagrams, photographs, and literature for you to take away with you. Professor Malata will help you to fully understand what your procedure involves including any concerns associated with surgery and will give you realistic advice about the results that can be achieved. He will also discuss the limitations and possible risks of the procedure. He is committed to making your operation first and foremost a safe and ultimately satisfying experience.
