What to Expect From Your Consultation
Coming to see a plastic surgeon can be a daunting thought, whether you are coming about a mole to be removed through to a facelift or breast surgery. Mr Pacifico is acutely aware of this and will immediately put you at ease with his warm, friendly and professional approach.
You will get most out of your consultation if you have had the opportunity to do some reading about the area you are interested in beforehand. Mr Pacifico highly recommends reading through the relevant information on the website prior to your appointment. This will allow a more in depth discussion between you, and you will get more out of the consultation.
With the recent changes in the world due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Mr Pacifico has changed his patient journey. He will now normally start by meeting you over a secure video link, to have a virtual consultation. This can be greatly aided by photographs you can send in (if you are comfortable doing this). This is a great way to meet each other and explore the areas you are interested in having addressed.
What to Expect From Your Consultation: General Surgery FAQs
The next consultation will be in-person, which will also allow a careful clinical examination and more detailed discussion about the options available to you. Marc will ensure you understand the pros and cons of different options so you can work out together the best plan for your further treatment.
There will be a lot of information to take in during the consultation process, but it is important not to worry about remembering everything: in addition to providing you with detailed written information, Mr Pacifico will write to you summarising your discussion, his examination findings and the potential plan that you discussed.
The time between the virtual consultation and the in-person consultation will allow you time to reflect on what has been discussed, and gives you an opportunity to read the information provided as well as the letter or email you will receive about your consultation. Furthermore, by then you will have received a quote for the proposed procedure enabling you to consider the financial aspects. As part of the second in-person consultation, Marc will take clinical photographs of the areas for planned treatment after obtaining your consent.
Marc believes strongly in a holistic approach to caring for all of his patients, and as part of the pre-operative journey offers a (free) consultation with his specialist nurses to further explore the treatment plan. It also allows an opportunity to discuss other important aspects of the treatment, such as surgical garments, bras, what to wear to hospital, what to expect and more.
Planning and booking surgery usually takes place at the second consultation. Any necessary pre-operative tests and investigations are also planned in the lead up to your surgery date.

Four months post surgery and I couldn’t be happier with my results. The standard of care and attention I received from Mr Pacifico and the entire team at Purity Bridge was second to none. I would not hesitate in recommending Purity Bridge to anyone considering surgery.

** AMAZING **
From the first time I met Marc I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He put me at ease, answered all of my questions and was realistic in terms of results… I cannot recommend Marc enough to anyone considering surgery. The results of the breast augmentation and mastopexy are better than I could have imagined and I am so glad that I chose Purity Bridge for my journey.

Tuberous Breasts Treated with Lift and Fat Grafting
… Although medically they are not tuberous breasts, I was later told they do have a tubular shape which has made me insecure since puberty… Mr Pacifico’s attentiveness, expertise and qualifications made him an obvious choice. He is extremely talented and knowledgable… this surgery was 100% the right decision.
