FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I know if surgery is right for me?
Your physician's job is to tell you what surgery can do for you and to help you understand the risks.

Although there is no guarantee, if surgery is recommended your surgeon believes you will like the results. Still, the decision remains a personal one and you must make it. Will my insurance pay for this surgery?
If your concerns are reconstructive in nature, health insurance may help cover the expenses. The out of pocket expenses to the patient depend on the details of the insurance coverage, including copays and deductibles. The office staff will help assist in determining what these out of pocket expenses will be prior to your scheduled surgery. For procedures deemed to be cosmetic in nature, health insurance does not help defer the costs. The various procedures differ in cost, and are dependent on the fees for anesthesia.
