What should I know about anesthesia? |
|
| |
| When necessary, twilight sleep or light general anesthesia is administered by a competent anesthetist or anesthesiologist. The level of anesthesia will vary with the needs of each patient. The type of anesthetic is clearly described at the time of consultation and is tailored to the patient's needs for surgery. The patient will remain in the recovery area until able to be discharged. Your surgeon will ask you to have a friend or family member drive you home after the operation. |

|
How are fees determined? |
|
| |
In general cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. Insurance will only pay when the surgery is done for reconstruction of deformities caused by accidents or when surgery improves function which is impaired by a physical deformity such as a septal deviation in rhinoplasty (nasal surgery). If an insurance company is to be billed for the surgery, the doctor's office staff will usually submit the insurance claim forms and documents to your insurance company for payment.
Fees are generally determined based on each patient's needs. Fees are clearly explained to the patient at the time of the first consultation. |

Why are pictures taken before and after surgery? |
|
| |
| Pictures are taken prior to surgery to help plan the procedure. They are useful guides which surgeons will use in planning and preparing for your procedure. In addition, postoperative photos are taken to enable you and the surgeon to evaluate the results of the procedure. |
