Consultations
Consultations
How much is a consultation?
N50,000 in person or N25,000 by video, credited to your procedure if you go ahead. Example fees.
Do I need a referral?
No, but a letter from your own doctor helps if you have health conditions.
Can I bring photos of what I want?
You can, and we will talk about them honestly, though we plan with your own features and measurements.
Deciding
Deciding
Why must I wait 14 days?
So the decision is calm and fully yours. It is the same for everyone.
What if the surgeon says no?
They will explain why, and often suggest a smaller step, a later date or a different specialist.
Can I get a second opinion?
Yes, free within your cooling-off period with another Lumiere surgeon.
Money
Money
Do you accept HMOs?
For some reconstructive work. Cosmetic surgery is rarely covered. We check before you pay.
Can I pay in parts?
Yes, a deposit after cooling-off and up to three monthly parts, cleared a week before surgery.
Do you give discounts?
No. We never discount surgery.
Recovery

How long will I be off work?
From a few days to four weeks, depending on the operation. Each procedure page lists a typical range.
Can I fly home after surgery?
Usually after seven days for larger operations, with stockings and walking breaks.
Who do I call if I am worried?
The night nurse line on your card, answered by a nurse.
No group matches that search. Try one word, such as fee, scar or flight.
Still unsure
Walk the house first
Open the clinic map from the header, choose a room and read what happens there. It is often the easiest way to understand the whole journey before you call.

Every result is personal and no outcome is promised. Surgery carries real risks, which your surgeon explains in person before you decide anything. Example details for this demo.
Begin with a conversation, not a commitment
Plan your journey online in three minutes, then book an hour with a consultant surgeon. The N50,000 consultation fee is credited to your procedure if you go ahead, and there is never pressure to.
