Psychology of Aesthetics: Expectation, Motivation & When To Say No | TwiqkTalk Live! Episode 5

What happens when expectation becomes part of the treatment? In this episode of TwiqkTalk Live! at CCR 2026, we explore the Psychology of Aesthetics: Expectation and When To Say No. Joining the conversation are Emma Wedgwood, Kimberley Cairns and Dr Ahmed El Muntasar, discussing the motivations, expectations and psychological factors that can shape aesthetic decision-making long before a treatment takes place. The conversation explores: • How social media and beauty ideals influence expectations • The role of body image in aesthetic decision-making • What practitioners should look for during consultation • The difference between realistic and unrealistic expectations • Professional responsibility and setting boundaries • When saying “no” may be the safest and most appropriate decision • How better consultation can support more informed patient choices Aesthetic medicine is not only about what can be done. Sometimes the more important question is whether it should be done. Recorded live at CCR 2026 in London, TwiqkTalk Live! brings together clinicians, experts and industry voices for open conversations around the issues shaping aesthetics, health and wellbeing.
