Why this step pays off
You don't travel for nothing

Travelling to Basel for a consultation costs time, money and a day off. The pre-consultation clarifies in advance whether this trip is worthwhile for you.

You know what you are deciding about

For many procedures there is more than one technique – and the choice of technique determines the outcome, healing process and cost. You will learn which one is even applicable to your situation.

Realistic expectations, no promises

We will also tell you where the limits of a procedure lie and when we would advise against surgery. This is often the more valuable information.

You can plan ahead

Time frame, downtime, follow-up checks and cost range are discussed in the conversation so you have a basis for your decision.

And if you decide on the surgery, the pre-consultation costs you nothing: The EUR 145 fee is credited if you have surgery in Basel according to the package terms.

Which procedures is the pre-consultation for?

The surgical pre-consultation is intended exclusively for patients considering surgery with Dr. Wagner in Basel – in particular:

  • ·Labiaplasty (reduction of the labia minora), including the One-Cut Technique
  • ·Correction of the labia majora – surgical reduction for excess skin or volume restoration with hyaluronic acid for volume loss
  • ·Perineoplasty, extended to a vaginoplasty where the findings warrant it
  • ·Hymenoplasty
  • ·Nipple correction

If you don't yet know which procedure is right for your situation, that is not an obstacle – clarifying that is part of the conversation.

What is clarified in the conversation
  • +Description of your findings and your concern
  • +Which treatment paths are generally possible – surgical and, where sensible, non-surgical
  • +Which technique is likely suitable for you and why
  • +What is realistically achievable and where the limits lie
  • +Procedure, type of anaesthesia, duration and downtime
  • +Healing process and follow-up checks
  • +Cost range and how the pre-consultation is credited
  • +Which information and documents we need for surgical planning

After the conversation you will know whether you would like to arrange a surgery appointment in Basel – and what the next step for that is.

What the pre-consultation is not

So you book with the right
expectations.

No examination

A physical examination does not take place online. The final assessment of your findings is carried out exclusively in person in Basel.

No surgical clearance

Medical clearance for a procedure cannot be given online.

No consent

Surgical consent is discussed and signed exclusively in a personal conversation in Basel, with an appropriate period for reflection between the consultation and the procedure.

Not a second opinion

The pre-consultation serves to prepare a procedure with Dr. Wagner. It is not intended to assess the surgical recommendation of another doctor.

Not an emergency service

For acute symptoms, please contact an emergency department or a hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fee really credited?

Yes. If the surgery takes place in Basel, the EUR 145 fee is credited towards the surgical costs according to the package terms. If you decide against the procedure, the fee remains as payment for the consulting service.

Do I already receive a binding price for the surgery?

You receive a reliable cost range. The binding price depends on the findings and is set after the personal examination in Basel.

Is 15 minutes enough?

For the question "is a procedure in Basel an option for me and which technique would it be", yes. The detailed surgical consent conversation belongs in the personal appointment on site anyway and is included in the surgery package.

Do I need to send photos?

No. This is not required for the pre-consultation. The assessment of the findings is carried out at the personal examination in Basel.

In which language does the conversation take place?

In German or English. Please specify your language when booking.

What applies in case of cancellation?

Cancellations more than 24 hours before the appointment via the booking platform are free of charge. For cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows, the fee is charged. Technical issues on the patient's side are not refundable.

I live in Switzerland – should I book the pre-consultation?

No. The pre-assessment is bookable exclusively for international patients without Swiss basic health insurance (KVG/LaMal) – not even as a self-pay service. Please book a regular appointment at our practice in Basel. If you have symptoms and first need to clarify whether there is a cause requiring treatment, this is a gynaecological work-up like any other and is billed through your basic insurance. If the work-up shows that a procedure would be carried out purely for aesthetic reasons, we will inform you in writing about the costs you bear yourself before any further step. The online pre-consultation is intended for patients for whom travelling to Basel involves significant effort.

Framework

The surgical pre-consultation serves exclusively as orientation before a planned procedure with Dr. Wagner in Basel. It does not replace a physical examination, legally required medical informed consent discussion, or surgical consent; both take place exclusively in person in Basel. This is a private self-pay service with prepayment. Please read the full terms of use before booking.
