Does my GP need to know?
Although It is not imperative to ask your GP to refer you to Mr Cheung, on the whole it is often beneficial since your GP will often be able to provide a lot of important medical information in the referral letter. Often after discussing with your GP first, will be quite comfortable about referring you to Mr Cheung or another Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon who is registered on the Specialist List of the UK General Medical Council. The General Medical Council recommends that your GP should be kept informed of all medical treatment that you undergo, and Mr Cheung will abide by this guideline.

I don’t want to look unnatural or "plastic". Can I be reassured?
The goals of surgery should always be determined jointly between you and your surgeon. It is very important to make clear your requirements at the time of your consultation.
Bad plastic surgery is easily recognisable. Instead of enhancing the features it invariably detracts from them. Furthermore, poorlyperformed plastic surgery in the eyelid region can also prove a threat to the health of the eye and eyesight. Good oculoplastic surgery should not only prove no risk to the eye but should achieve a refreshed look to the eyelids and attract comments such as “ You look really good! Have you been on holiday?”
Oculoplastic surgeons perform a similar range of eyelid procedures, including blepharoplasty and brow lift both in the NHS and in private practice and are recognised accordingly as specialists in surgery in the eyelid region of the face. It is for this reason that they are referred patients who have had unsatisfactory surgery elsewhere for revisional work.

Who will perform my surgery?
Unlike many clinics elsewhere, once you attend for a consultation with Mr Cheung and agree to proceed with a specific treatment, rest assured that your treatment will be carried out by Mr Cheung only. He will however on occasion, have junior surgeons in-training assisting him during your treatment.

 What happens if something goes wrong or if I am not happy with the results?
Firstly, common to all surgical procedures is an inherent risk of complications despite the highest standard of care and expertise. The majority of complications are either uncommon (less than 5% of cases) or rare (less than 1% of cases). However, it is important that before you agree to undergo any surgery or treatment that you ask about and fully understand the risks and side-effects of the procedure. As a surgeon of good standing, Mr Cheung will always go through the potential risks with you prior to any treatment.

What about fees and payment?
Procedures vary greatly in complexity and the fees reflect this. Each patient is different and the treatment offered is bespoke for that patient. It is for this reason that fees are not given in this website but you will be informed of all costs prior to your surgery. Mr Cheung's fees tend to be competitive and in line with equivalent providers. Full payment will be due and payable before the day of your treatment or surgery.
