The Cosmetic Surgery Consultation: What to Expect
We all have visions of how we would like to look, but taking that first step can be intimidating. At Carmel Cosmetic & Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Grasee and Dr. Bergman go out of their way to make sure patients feel welcome and heard. They want each patient to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and goals so they can explore all available options.
Our plastic surgeons never rush patients in and out. Consultations are the golden moment where your aesthetic goals can be defined. The consultation is the starting point for every patient. At this appointment, prior to meeting your surgeon, you will view an informational DVD about your intended procedure. Next, you will meet your surgeon and she will discuss with you your specific goals and expectations. Your chosen surgical procedure, the risks and complications, as well as the postoperative recovery will be reviewed at length at your consultation visit. You will be examined, your measurements will be taken, and you will be photographed. All your questions will be answered.
Carmel Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons provides a supportive environment in which you can feel at ease to discuss your goals. There will be before and after pictures of other patients who have consented to have their pictures viewed available for you to see at your consultation. Additionally, there are photographs available for you to view at our website photo gallery.
The cosmetic consultation fee is $100.00. This consultation fee will be collected to secure your consultation appointment when you make your consultation. At the completion of your consultation, a cost estimate of the procedure as well as the facility and anesthesia fees will be presented to you. The cosmetic consult fee of $100.00 will be applied towards the procedure if you elect to proceed.
Your treatment plan can become a reality. You can start now.
