Exchanging Surgery for Modeling

We have this question asked multiple times a month from patients. It is difficult for a surgeon to perform surgery completely "free" because there are other expenses associated with having surgery other than the surgeon's fee. You have to take into consideration the operating room expenses, staff for the operating room, supplies, breast implants, as well as Anesthesiologists fees, etc. You may be able to find lower cost surgery if performed in a University... more
