Getting Started!

So you are considering having plastic surgery.  It has taken a lot of soul searching and some serious introspection, but you have decided cosmetic surgery may be right for you. Congratulations! The most difficult part of the process is now behind you.  You are now on your way to a new and improved you.

The next question you may be thinking is, “How do I get started?”


The Cosmetic Consultation

The consultation is the starting point for every patient.  Dr Grasee and Dr Bergman would be happy to see you at a consultation appointment scheduled at your convenience.  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.

The next question you may be thinking is, “Can I see pictures of other patients who have had this procedure?”


Before and After Pictures

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 next question you may be thinking is, “How much will this cost?”


Cost Estimate 

The cosmetic consultation fee is $50.00.  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 $50.00 will be applied towards the procedure if you elect to proceed. 


You have just gotten started!!
