Questions to Ask Your Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgeon

Questions to Ask Your Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgeon | HoustonA mommy makeover is one of the most transformative cosmetic surgery procedures for women. However, the procedure combines multiple surgeries and should only be chosen after an objective assessment of the patient’s health and her aesthetic priorities.
The patient should freely ask questions from the surgeon during the initial consultation in order to make a well-considered decision.
It is also an astute idea for a patient to write down the questions in advance and carry the list of questions to the surgeon’s office for the pre-op consultation. This will ensure that all pertinent doubts and concerns are efficiently addressed. Tremendous, committed, and board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center of Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide mommy makeover surgery to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

Questions about Cost

Mommy makeover is typically performed as an elective procedure, and insurance coverage will not be possible. Therefore, patients should seek a complete clarification on the costs involved, including any pre- and post-operative expenses. If the surgeon’s office can offer guidance about third party financing options, the patient may choose to consider those options.
