Focus on delivering
.
You’ve got enough on your plate— running your practice is demanding enough. We’re here to lighten the load by making sure your patients arrive for their appointments ready to go: in the right state of mind, with realistic expectations, and all the information they need.
Many patients seeking cosmetic treatments have unrealistic expectations or underlying mental health challenges—20% may have Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and over 50% face conditions like anxiety or depression. While many can benefit from treatments, these patients often need extra support, and missing this can lead to dissatisfaction, complaints and negative reviews.
PREPÆRE takes the pressure off by handling pre-treatment screenings, assessing readiness, and providing resources or referrals when needed. This ensures your patients are suitable, prepared, and supported, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care while meeting your duty of care effortlessly.
I.
Meet your duty of care
Patients with BDD often have unrealistic expectations, leading to poor outcomes—over 98% remain dissatisfied (Veale et al., 1996), and many see their mental health worsen (Phillips et al., 2001). Without proper screening, you risk harming patients and falling short of your duty of care.
PREPÆRE helps you spot at-risk patients early, so you can provide treatments that truly help and show your dedication to ethical, patient-first care. Patients who need further psychological support or assessment are automatically referred to a specialist.
II.
Save time & focus on your expertise
Spotting mental health issues during a brief consultation is tough, even impossible without specialist training. Even qualified psychologists need more time to spot mental health issues accurately.
PREPÆRE handles pre-treatment screenings for you, so you can focus on what you do best: delivering exceptional care without the stress of missing crucial details.
III.
Use research-backed screening tools
Surgeons miss 84% of patients with BDD without using proper tools (Higgins et al., 2017). Intuition alone has a sensitivity of just 4.7% (Joseph et al., 2016), making it unreliable.
PREPÆRE provides a research-backed, standardised screening process with high sensitivity, ensuring you consistently identify at-risk patients and uphold high professional standards.
IV.
Simplify difficult conversations
Discussing mental health can be challenging, and patients may not open up during brief consultations. Over 44% of elective plastic surgery patients have a history of psychiatric disorders (Kessler et al., 2005), yet many struggle to talk about it.
PREPÆRE gives patients a private way to complete pre-treatment screenings, encouraging honesty and making tough conversations easier. This helps you approach sensitive topics with confidence and clarity.
V.
Protect yourself and your reputation
Patients with undiagnosed BDD can lead to dissatisfaction, complaints, or even legal risks. In fact, 2% of plastic surgeons have been physically threatened by BDD patients (Sweis et al., 2017), and 10% have faced threats of violence or legal action (Wang et al., 2016).
PREPÆRE helps identify these at-risk patients early, so you can make informed treatment decisions and protect yourself, your reputation, and your practice.
