Make sure you’re clear about what to look out for that might indicate a negative reaction to the procedure, and when you should contact the clinic.

Your doctor, physician associate or anaesthesia associate must:

  • make sure you have the right medicines and any equipment you may need to care for yourself
  • tell you whether you need any follow-up procedures or appointments
  • make sure you have the details of someone you can contact at the clinic who is suitably qualified to advise you if you experience complications
  • ask for your feedback and check that you are satisfied with the outcome
  • give you written information about the procedure you’ve had, including any medicines or devices used. This is important and will help you if you have a negative reaction, need any further procedures or if a product is recalled.
