KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
Care begins
with understanding.
Does surgery leave scars?
Surgical incisions leave scars. Incision placement along the natural contours of the eyes and face can help make scars less noticeable. Your surgeon can explain the planned approach and how scars change during healing.
Does surgery stop the aging process?
Surgery does not stop aging. Skin and tissues continue to change over time, and the duration of a result varies with the procedure and the individual.
What should I ask my insurance provider?
Ask about your deductible, out-of-pocket costs, maximum payable benefit, and whether pain medication is covered. Request written confirmation of your coverage before the procedure.
What is medical and reconstructive surgery?
Medical and reconstructive procedures address problems caused by disease, cancer, trauma, or conditions present from birth. Treatment can focus on restoring function as well as appearance.
How do I know which procedure is right for me?
Your surgeon will examine the area of concern, review your health and goals, and explain the available treatment options, risks, and alternatives.
Will insurance cover my procedure?
Coverage depends on the procedure, medical necessity, and the requirements of your insurance plan. The office can discuss the evaluation and documentation involved.
How much will treatment cost?
The cost depends on the recommended treatment and the details of your surgical plan. Our team will discuss costs with you during the consultation process.
