Consultations, Financing & Scheduling
Is there a fee for a cosmetic consultation?
Yes, a consultation fee may apply depending on the provider and type of procedure you are considering.
Consultation fees and payment policies may vary by provider and procedure. Our team will review any applicable fees when scheduling your appointment. Should you decide to move forward with treatment or surgery, your consultation fee and any applicable deposit will be credited toward the total cost of your procedure.
How long does a cosmetic consultation typically last?
Most cosmetic consultations last approximately 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the procedure and your individual needs.
During your appointment, your provider will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, answer your questions, and recommend treatment options tailored to your needs.
Our goal is to ensure you have the information necessary to make an informed decision without feeling rushed or pressured.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Virtual consultations may be available for certain procedures and circumstances. However, we generally recommend an in-person consultation whenever possible.
An in-person appointment allows your provider to perform a comprehensive evaluation, assess your concerns, and determine which treatment options may be most appropriate for your goals.
For procedures that require detailed facial or body assessments, an in-person consultation may be necessary.
Our team can help determine whether a virtual consultation is appropriate for your needs.
Do you offer financing options for cosmetic procedures?
Yes! Becker Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery offers financing options through CareCredit to help patients manage the cost of eligible cosmetic procedures.
Qualifying patients may have access to promotional financing options, subject to credit approval and applicable terms and conditions.
Our team will be happy to explain available payment and financing options during your consultation.
Is a deposit required to schedule cosmetic surgery?
Yes, a deposit is generally required to reserve a surgical date.
Deposit amounts and payment requirements may vary depending on the surgeon and procedure. For certain procedures, the required deposit is 10% of the surgeon's fee.
Deposits may be nonrefundable, although rescheduling options may be available under the applicable policy.
Our surgical coordination team will review all deposit requirements, payment deadlines, and scheduling policies with you before confirming your surgery.
What is your consultation cancellation or rescheduling policy?
We understand that unexpected circumstances arise and schedules sometimes change.
We kindly request at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your consultation.
For appointments requiring a consultation fee, cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 24 hours' notice may result in forfeiture of that fee. An additional consultation fee may be required to schedule another appointment.
Specific cancellation policies will be communicated when your appointment is scheduled.
We appreciate your understanding, as advance notice allows us to accommodate other patients awaiting appointments.
How long is my surgical quote valid?
Surgical quotes are generally valid for 90 days from the date they are issued.
After this period, pricing may be subject to change based on the procedure, surgical requirements, and other applicable factors.
If you're considering scheduling surgery beyond the initial quote period, our surgical coordination team can review your treatment plan and provide updated pricing when necessary.
We encourage patients to contact our office with any questions regarding surgical estimates, financing, or anticipated timelines.
Can I schedule a follow-up consultation before surgery?
Absolutely! We understand that cosmetic surgery is an important decision, and we want you to feel fully informed and comfortable before moving forward.
If you have additional questions, would like to revisit your treatment options, or need further clarification about your procedure, our team can assist you in arranging a follow-up consultation.
Follow-up appointment availability and any applicable fees may vary depending on the provider and circumstances.
Our priority is to ensure you feel confident in your treatment plan and have a clear understanding of what to expect.
What should I bring to my cosmetic consultation?
To make the most of your consultation at Becker Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we recommend arriving prepared to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any questions you may have.
The following items may be helpful:
- Photo Identification: Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID.
- Insurance Information (If Applicable): If your consultation involves a procedure that may have a medically necessary component, bring your current insurance card so our team can review the relevant information.
- Medical History and Medications: Be prepared to discuss your medical history, previous surgeries, allergies, and current medications.
- Questions and Concerns: Consider preparing a list of questions about your desired procedure, recovery expectations, potential risks, and anticipated results.
- Reference Photos (Optional): If you have examples that illustrate your aesthetic goals, you are welcome to bring them to help guide the conversation.
- A Support Person: You are welcome to bring a spouse, family member, or trusted friend if you would feel more comfortable having someone accompany you.
Our team is here to make your consultation as informative, comfortable, and personalized as possible.
How soon after my consultation can I schedule surgery?
Surgical availability varies depending on the surgeon, the procedure you're considering, and your preferred timeframe.
Some procedures may be scheduled within a relatively short period, while others may require booking several weeks or months in advance.
Following your consultation, our surgical coordination team will review available dates and work with you to identify a surgical date that accommodates your needs.
If you're planning around an upcoming event, vacation, wedding, or other important commitment, we encourage you to share your preferred timeline during your consultation.
It's also important to consider the recommended recovery period when planning your surgery.
Our team will help guide you through the scheduling process and ensure you understand the necessary steps before your procedure.
