ColverstonMedical Advisory

For individuals and families — London

Independent counsel, before the decision is made.

Colverston advises individuals and families considering elective aesthetic and cosmetic surgery: what the realistic options are, what the evidence does and does not support, and what a given course is likely to mean for the person contemplating it. We are not a clinic. We take no payment from those who are.

Who we advise

Where choice is abundant and disinterest is scarce.

Our clients can consult very nearly any surgeon in Europe. That access is precisely the difficulty. The market presents itself as a set of offers rather than a set of options, and almost everyone consulted has an interest in the answer.

Colverston exists to occupy the one position nobody else in the process holds: alongside the client, with nothing to sell and nothing to gain from what they decide.

A good deal of our work is done for families rather than individuals — a parent asking careful questions on behalf of an adult child, or a client seeking a considered view before a relative proceeds.

How it works

Three stages, at the client's pace.

  1. Introduction

    A confidential conversation, without obligation, to establish what is being considered and whether we are the right people to help. We say so plainly when we are not.

  2. Assessment

    A retired consultant from the relevant specialty examines what is proposed alongside its alternatives, the practitioner and the setting, and the independent evidence on outcomes and on the market.

  3. Counsel

    A written summary in plain language: what we found, where the evidence is thin, the questions we would put to the surgeon, and the routes to a second opinion. The decision remains entirely the client's.

Scope

Aesthetic and cosmetic surgery today; more in time.

Our present work is elective aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. We intend to extend into longevity medicine, regenerative medicine, and related wellness medical services, and we will do it one field at a time.

The constraint is one we impose on ourselves: we will not advise in a field until we have advisors who practised in it. London is our base, and European coverage follows the same rule.
