Frequently Asked Questions
What will my surgery cost?
There is no single flat cost for cosmetic surgery because every patient and procedure is unique. Pricing depends on factors such as the specific procedure, surgical technique, anesthesia, facility fees, and your individual anatomy. For this reason, exact pricing cannot be provided over the phone. A free, confidential consultation is required to determine your personalized treatment plan and total cost. Financing options are available, including plans with no down payment and no interest for qualified patients.
How do I choose a plastic surgeon?
Choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions you can make. You should look for a surgeon who is board certified, has extensive experience performing the procedure you’re considering, holds hospital privileges, and can provide before-and-after photos and patient testimonials. Board certification ensures the surgeon has completed accredited training and meets high professional standards.
Are all plastic surgeons board certified?
No. Not all doctors who perform cosmetic procedures are board-certified plastic surgeons. Board-certified plastic surgeons have completed rigorous training in plastic and reconstructive surgery and meet strict certification requirements. It is important to verify your surgeon’s credentials before undergoing any procedure.
Why don’t all plastic surgeons use hospitals?
Some providers who offer cosmetic procedures do not have hospital privileges because they have not completed accredited plastic surgery training. Surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery are credentialed to perform procedures at leading hospitals and accredited surgical centers, ensuring a higher level of safety and care.
What is the difference in education for plastic surgeons?
Board-certified plastic surgeons complete medical school, general surgery training, and several additional years of specialized plastic and reconstructive surgery training. They must also pass comprehensive board examinations. This level of education and training is significantly more extensive than that of many practitioners who perform cosmetic procedures without formal plastic surgery certification.
