Before I operate on anyone, I need to get to know them. That is what the first consultation is: a conversation in which I listen to you, examine you and tell you frankly whether I would operate, how I would do it and what you can expect. You leave with a fixed written quote and no obligation.

How do I book an appointment?
By phone or WhatsApp on +34 722 77 10 78, by email at consultacirugia@drmarcoromeo.com or through the contact form. My team will suggest a date and time and confirm your appointment.
Where does the consultation take place? Can it be a video consultation?
At my practice in Madrid, at Calle Conde de Aranda 15, in the Salamanca district.
If you cannot come in person, a video consultation is available. It is a way for us to meet, answer your questions and point you in the right direction before you take any step; the examination and the final decision always happen in person. If you are coming from outside Spain, it is the usual first step: I explain it in International Patients.
What happens at the first consultation?
I listen to you, examine you and give you my opinion on your case. The consultation lasts around 30 minutes.
I start by listening: what concerns you, what you would like to change and what you expect from the result. Then I examine you. With that, I tell you what I would do in your case and why, and also what I would not do.
In plastic surgery there are almost always several techniques for the same problem, and it is normal to arrive having read or heard a great deal. Ask me anything you like: my job in this consultation is to help you separate what is right for you from what is not.
Sometimes the answer is surgery. Sometimes it is a different treatment from the one you had in mind. And sometimes it is not to have surgery at all, because what you are looking for cannot be achieved with an operation or because the risk is not worth it. If that is the case, I will tell you.
When the indication is clear, I explain the operation in detail: how I perform it, what the recovery involves and what result it is realistic to expect. Where possible, we do a digital simulation so that you can see what we are talking about.
What do I leave the consultation with?
A clear opinion on your case, answers to the questions you came with, and a fixed written quote that includes the consultation, the operating theatre, the anaesthesia and the follow-up appointments.
You do not have to decide anything that day. If you need it, the quote can be financed up to €10,000, with an answer within 24 to 48 hours. How payment works is explained in Financing.
How much does the first consultation cost?
€90. A video consultation costs the same. If you then have surgery with me, that amount is deducted from the price of the operation.
The price of the consultation may be higher for medical emergencies, second opinions on recently operated cases and revision surgery.
Other questions about the first consultation
Does the consultation commit me to having surgery?
No. You leave with my opinion and a written quote, and you decide afterwards, in your own time. If I think you should not have surgery, I will tell you that too.
Will I be able to see how I would look?
If it is possible in your case, we do a digital simulation during the consultation. It helps us both talk about the same thing; it is not a promise of a result. You can also look at my before and after cases.
What should I bring?
If you have medical reports, recent blood tests or a list of the medication you take, bring them. If you have already had surgery in the same area, bring the report from that operation too. And photos of what you like and what you do not: they help us understand each other.
