Online Consultation

In many cases patients are not able to travel in order to discuss their concern or their procedure of interest. Today we can communicate easily with many patients from abroad through easy-to-use internet platforms. Our secure virtual consultation is also a convenient option if you live outside of Athens, have a very busy schedule, or prefer the privacy of an online pre-consultation and would like to receive a preliminary assessment from one of our U.S. Board-Certified physicians.

The goals during the virtual consultation are the same as during a regular face-to-face consultation. We will have to analyze in detail the findings from your pictures and discuss thoroughly our assessment, the indications for your surgery and the expected operative and postoperative course. Also, the virtual consultation does not eliminate the need for a regular consultation. If a surgical procedure is planned, we will need to evaluate you in person before your surgery date. This can happen when you arrive in Athens and at least 2 days before your surgery date. For virtual / internet / telephone consultations, please call us or send us an Email.

Please include the following information in your email:

  • Your First Name
  • Your Last Name
  • Your Age (must be over 22 years old in order to have a virtual consultation)
  • Email
  • Telephone number
  • How you prefer to be contacted
  • What procedure are you interested in and additional concerns that you may have.
  • Five photographs of the area of concern that include one front view, two side views (right & left) and two 45° views. In order for us to provide a more precise virtual consultation, please follow our more detailed instructions at the Pictures Guidelines below:

If you are considering plastic surgery with us, it is important that you schedule a consultation. During your personal consultation, your unique goals and desires can be discussed and evaluated. We strongly advise that an in-person consultation, wherein a history, examination, assessment, and thorough in-person discussion of the benefits, risks, and alternatives of and to various treatments be conducted. Information obtained from this, or any, website does not and will not ever replace speaking in person with a qualified physician/surgeon to find out the specifics as they pertain to each individual. Information obtained on the internet should never be considered a substitute for a full medical consultation. A formal consultation with a surgeon is required to accurately evaluate the procedures presented here and whether or not you are a candidate for surgery.
