Training and scope
Ask about the surgeon’s recognised specialty, registration, genital surgery training, case experience and how often they perform the proposed technique.
Consultation quality
A strong consultation discusses normal anatomy, alternatives, realistic results, scars, sensation, recovery and risks. You should be able to ask questions without pressure.
Facility and safety
Confirm where surgery occurs, who gives anaesthesia, how emergencies are managed and whether the facility is licensed for international health services when relevant.
Aftercare across borders
Ask who reviews you before travel, how to contact the team, how complications are assessed after you return home and whether local care costs are covered.
Frequently asked questions
Are social-media followers a credential?

What should before-and-after photos show?
Consistent views, similar timing and cases relevant to your anatomy, used with patient consent.
Should I consult more than one surgeon?
It can help you compare recommendations, communication and risk explanations.
