For surgeons & aesthetic practitioners
A documented specialist opinion and a clear recommendation before you operate. Call to discuss a case without naming the patient.
Why refer
Patient safety
People with body dysmorphic disorder rarely raise it themselves, and surgery seldom relieves their symptoms. Screening finds it early.
Professional standards
A specialist report supports GMC guidance on cosmetic interventions and gives a clear record of why a decision was made.
Better outcomes
Where surgery should wait, the report sets out what needs to happen first, so the door stays open for the future.
When to refer
None of these means a patient cannot have treatment. They are reasons to take a closer look first.
How to refer
Use the referral form or email us with brief clinical details. No patient names in the first message, please.
