Fees and Financing

All fees will be discussed freely in advance by the office staff. Not only do insurance companies not cover the cost of such cosmetic surgery, but they may place exclusion for breast disease on your future policies. In compliance with suggestions adopted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it is customary for the patient to pay all fees for cosmetic surgery prior to the desired operation. This insures that the patient is sincere in her motivation and can afford the surgery, thus creating a better patient/physician relationship. A non-refundable deposit will be required to secure your desired surgery date. The remainder of the fees must be paid prior to the surgery, usually at the time of the preoperative visit, but no later than one week before surgery. Additional fees are also required for laboratory tests, surgical facility fees, the anesthesiologist, and if necessary, mammography. If additional surgical procedures become necessary, additional facility, laboratory, anesthesia, implant costs and professional fees will be incurred. The surgical facility and anesthesiologist fees quoted will be based on our best faith estimate; the final fee may vary as these fees are based on surgical time, and it is not always possible to predict.
