01
Your Concern
Tell us what concerns you. You don't need to arrive knowing the name of a treatment. Begin by explaining what you would like to address and what you hope to achieve.
Consultation & Referral
Start With the Concern, Not the Procedure.
You don't need to know which treatment you need before speaking to Dr Khan.
Every person is different. What concerns one individual may have a very different cause, solution or range of options from another.
Dr Khan's approach begins by listening to what concerns you, what you would like to change and what you hope to achieve — rather than beginning with a predetermined procedure.
Following consultation, he can discuss the options that may be appropriate. Where a treatment is not provided directly by Dr Khan, he can help identify and facilitate referral to a suitably qualified independent practitioner or provider.
Start With You
The Treatment Isn't the Starting Point. You Are.
Aesthetic medicine can sometimes feel like a list of treatments — fillers, skin treatments, FaceTite, BodyTite, liposuction and many others.
But knowing the name of a treatment doesn't necessarily mean it is the right treatment for you.
With 40 years of medical experience, Dr Khan's approach is different.
Start with the concern. Understand the individual. Then consider the options.
A consultation provides the opportunity to discuss your concerns, expectations, medical history and objectives before considering what the most appropriate next step may be.
“Start with the concern, not the procedure.”
How It Works
A Considered Pathway
From your first concern to an appropriate next step — understood at your own pace.
02
Your Consultation
Meet with Dr Khan. He will discuss your concerns, relevant history, expectations and objectives before explaining the options that may be appropriate.
03
Your Options
Understand the possibilities. There may be more than one way of approaching a particular concern. Dr Khan can explain appropriate options, including their limitations and whether a particular treatment warrants assessment by another practitioner.
04
Treatment or Referral
The appropriate next step. Where an appropriate cosmetic service is provided directly by Dr Khan, this can be discussed. Where a procedure requires specialist expertise, facilities or a service not provided directly by Dr Khan, he can help identify and facilitate referral to a suitably qualified independent external practitioner/provider.
When a Referral May Be Appropriate
Advanced Procedures — Consultation & Referral
Dr Khan provides consultations for patients considering a range of more advanced aesthetic procedures.
These procedures are not performed by Dr Khan through this service.
Where an advanced procedure may be appropriate, Dr Khan can help identify a suitably qualified independent practitioner/provider to whom the patient can be referred for further assessment.
✓FaceTite
✓NeckTite
✓BodyTite
✓Liposuction
✓Surgical mole removal or biopsy
✓Other procedures requiring specialist facilities or expertise
After a Referral
Independent Assessment. Independent Clinical Care.
A referral does not mean that a procedure has been pre-approved or that treatment will necessarily proceed.
The independent external practitioner/provider will undertake their own assessment and determine whether the proposed treatment is suitable.
Where treatment subsequently proceeds, the independent practitioner/provider is responsible for
- ✓Clinical assessment
- ✓Determining suitability
- ✓Explaining risks and alternatives
- ✓Obtaining consent
- ✓Performing the procedure
- ✓Procedure-related clinical care and aftercare
The referred procedure is not performed by Dr Khan through this service.
Finding the Right Provider
Helping You Take the Next Step
One of the benefits of consultation is helping patients understand where they may need to go next.
Where referral is appropriate, Dr Khan can help identify an independent practitioner/provider with the relevant qualifications, experience and facilities for further assessment.
The receiving practitioner remains responsible for deciding whether they are able to offer the requested procedure.
Not Sure What You Need?
That's Exactly What the Consultation Is For.
You don't need to choose a procedure before you arrive.
Tell Dr Khan what concerns you and what you would like to achieve. The conversation can begin from there.
