Why cost shouldn't be the first question you ask...

Have you entertained the idea of getting cosmetic surgery? Or perhaps a laser resurfacing procedure? It is always a good idea to do your research and ask lots of questions but, “how much will this cost”, is not one of them that can easily be answered over the phone. Dr. Yonick believes that giving price quotes without a proper consultation can be a tremendous disservice for both the client and the practice. When you call our office, we will invite you to schedule a free consultation instead of giving a ballpark number—and there are a few reasons why.
 
First, there is only one YOU! Every single person has their own unique body, shape, and size. Giving you an approximate figure won’t be beneficial if we don’t know the details. For instance, if you were to call for pricing on a mommy makeover, the cost is going to vary significantly depending on your personal goals and expectations. One person may need a breast augmentation and a mini tummy tuck without liposuction, whereas another mommy makeover may need a breast lift and full tummy tuck with liposuction. Without a consultation to help focus on what your target areas are and what your body needs, a price quote is literally just numbers.

Second, cosmetic surgery isn’t cheap, and it is even more expensive if it doesn’t meet your expectations the first time. Instead of the price, we suggest your research consists of questions that are going to benefit your surgical outcome and care. A few questions we recommend asking:
  •  Is the surgeon board certified in plastic surgery?
  •  Will I be meeting with the surgeon during my cosmetic consultation?
  •  I am interested in a laser procedure, is your laser equipped with the latest technology?
  •  Who does your laser treatments, and what type of training have they had?
  •  Do you provide cosmetic surgery insurance?
  •  Will I have any additional costs associated after my surgery/procedure?
This list of questions is better suited to get you into an office that holds you and your outcome to a higher standard.
 
At first glance, we may not be the “cheapest price in town” but, when looking for expertise we  are the leaders in education, utilize top equipment, and provide the greatest clinical results. So, while we will not give you a price over the phone, when you come into our office for your free consultation you will receive a clinical evaluation focused around YOU. It will center on YOUR specific goals, and include an exact price quote including surgeon fees, facility, and anesthesia costs. These prices are all inclusive. We will give you all the tools to make an informed decision no matter what you decide.
 
We know this whole process can be daunting but, don’t worry…we will be with you every step of the way.
