Request a Consultation with Dr Thiagarajah, Denver Oculoplastic Surgeon 

Why Dr. Thiagarajah Does Not Offer Free Consultations — and Why It’s Worth Every Penny

When it comes to cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery, choosing the right surgeon is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Patients often ask why Dr. Chris Thiagarajah does not offer free consultations like some medspas or practices. The answer is simple: your eyes deserve more than a sales pitch—they deserve expert medical care and personalized attention from a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon.

1. Your Consultation Is a True Medical Evaluation — Not a Sales Appointment

A consultation with Dr. Thiagarajah is not a quick look or a generic quote. It’s a comprehensive medical evaluationperformed by a dual-trained oculoplastic surgeon and neuro-ophthalmologist who has performed over 12,000 eyelid surgeries.


During your visit, Dr. Thiagarajah:

  • Reviews your medical and surgical history in detail

  • Performs an expert examination of your eyelids, skin, muscles, and ocular health

  • Evaluates function as well as aesthetics

  • Discusses surgical and non-surgical options specifically tailored to your anatomy and goals

 

This level of detail simply cannot be provided in a “free” visit designed to sell a procedure. You’re receiving a medical opinion, not a sales consultation.

2. You’re Paying for Decades of Specialized Expertise

Dr. Thiagarajah is one of very few surgeons in Colorado who is both board-certified and fellowship-trained in oculoplastic surgery. His expertise in eyelid anatomy, healing, and symmetry allows him to offer natural results and a lower risk of complications compared with non-specialists.


A modest consultation fee reflects the years of training, precision, and experience behind every opinion he gives. It’s an investment in expert advice, not an expense.

3. The Consultation Protects You from Unnecessary or Inappropriate Procedures

During your consultation, you may discover that surgery isn’t necessary—or that a different approach would give you a better result. Dr. Thiagarajah’s role is to guide you honestly, not to “close a sale.”


By charging a consultation fee, he ensures that each visit is focused on your best medical and aesthetic outcome, not on volume or upselling.

4. Your Time and His Are Both Valued

Dr. Thiagarajah dedicates time to each new patient, often reviewing photos, imaging, and prior procedures. Every appointment is unhurried, educational, and individualized.
 

A paid consultation ensures that both patient and surgeon are committed to making the most of that time—so you leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan that fits your goals.

5. The Consultation Fee Is an Investment in Your Safety and Confidence

Many patients later say the consultation was the most valuable part of their surgical journey. You’ll gain insight into how your eyelids age, what options truly work for your anatomy, and what results you can realistically expect.
Most importantly, you’ll meet the surgeon who will personally perform your procedure—not a consultant or coordinator.
