Breast Augmentation Price: Is it Negotiable?

User Avatar
mailmommy03May 7, 2009

Is it rude or disrespectful to negotiate on the surgeons fees? Especially, when the prices vary so much from one surgeon to the next. You would think a doctor would be willing to negotiate a little, when weighed with the overall outcome of profit, the business he would gain and even the prospects of re-business he would have. I have been told by several that price is always negotiable, seeing many insurance companies and family health providers practicing these measures.

Healing is a process very specific to you. It is possible that you have some stitches that are causing you some discomfort, but that is completely normal. If you are unhappy with you results or you are concerned about the way you incision is healing you should speak with you surgeon.

Thanks for your question! You need to quit smoking before and after having surgery. If your surgeon wants you to stop 6 weeks prior to having surgery then you should, regardless what others tell you. Follow all your instructions and contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best wishes!
