Your Questions Answered
-
What can I expect to pay?+-
Cost should not be a deciding factor with an elective surgery. Trust, experience and aftercare are absolutely key, and River Medical is widely recognised as the industry leader in Ireland. We are also proud to say that we adhere to the strictest of ethical guidelines and believe that only highly trained medical staff should advise on cosmetic procedures - be it surgical or non-surgical.
-
Who will I meet at my initial consultation?+-
You will meet with one of our Consultant Plastic Surgeons who will discuss everything with you including your expectations and desires, the procedure and the best type of procedure for you, the results as well as any possible eventualities.
-
What is the recovery time like?+-
You will need to take 10 – 14 days off after your surgery, the exact time will depend on the extent of your surgery. If your job is physical you may require more time. You will have an element of discomfort after your surgery which typically lasts 1- 10 days but this will be managed with the support of your Consultant Plastic Surgeon and River Medical Registered General Nurse. We encourage patients to get back to their normal life as soon as it feels comfortable for them. We feel that this really promotes and aids a speedy and successful recovery. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.

How should I prepare for my procedure?+-

-
Will there be scarring?+-

-
Why do you not have before and after pictures on your website?+-
Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be carrying out your surgery. As every person has completely different expectations and different treatment requirements, it is a much more valuable tool for your Consultant to show pictures of not only surgeries that he/she has carried out but also show you results you will be likely to achieve.
-
Is there a non-surgical alternative?+-
At River Medical, we will always endeavour to provide patients with the best possible solution. With this in mind if there is a non-surgical alternative, this will be discussed with you by your Consultant Plastic Surgeon. There is an excellent non-surgical, non-invasive skin tightening treatment called Thermage which can be discussed should you be deemed a suitable candidate.

Testimonials
My neck just didn’t match my face. Call it turkey neck or a jowly neck, whatever the term I hated it and had to do something about it. My surgeon was just amazing. I knew I was in safe hands and just trusted him immediately. The team from the hospital, to the nurses and all the staff was second to none, it’s a really professional set up. And as for the results – I am so impressed, the skin was tightened and almost repositioned, to give me my old shape back. I look great!- River Medical patient on neck lift surgery
