Tipping a doctor performing lip augmentation... Any suggestions?

Question

I have an appointment very soon for a lip augmentation procedure (juvederm ultra plus). A doctor is going to be performing this procedure, I was wondering if tip is included? This is my first time under going a lip augmentation procedure therefore I'm unclear whether tip is included. Thanks!

Thank you for your excellent question and kind consideration.  When seeing a physician you need not tip on their services, all costs are built into the price quoted you for a lip augmentation.  Hope this helps.

I have realised that a happy patient is one whose philosophy concerning beautiful lips matches with the doctor. It is important to make sure you have seen his/her's results rather than worry about a tip!

If you are happy with your doctor's work, the best thank you is the referral of your friends and family.  Tips are completely unnecessary.

Audrey A. Klenke, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no need to tip the surgeon who is preforming your procedure.  The price you pay for the lip augmentation already includes the doctors time, therefore a tip is not required or expected.

Jeanine B. Downie, MD · Answer

Hello, included in the doctor's fee is the cost of the product, the cost of overhead and the cost of administering the drug (Juvederm).  You do not ever have to tip a doctor for services rendered.      Good luck, Dr. Downie.

Greetings!This is certainly an extremely kind gesture on your part, but absolutely not required, or necessary. The price of the procedure is incredibly straightforward. It covers the artistic performance of the procedure, as well as the cost of the product. Please make sure that the person you have chosen is experienced in the procedure they are performing, as this type of procedure is extremely delicate.Best of luck to you!

Hi VelvetRose512, Thank you for your excellent question!  Patients typically do not tip a Doctor for services in the office.I hope this helps you, Brian S. Coan MD, FACS

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I do not think you need to tip your doctor for services. You are paying for the procedure which is good enough. A thank you is  more than acceptable.  Good luck

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

This is not customary after a lip injection. If you are happy, the best compliment you can do is write a glowing review of your service on Realself.

Tae Ho Kim, MD · Answer

Lip injections are not easy.  It's more important to choose a doctor who will do a good job than worrying about tipping!  Good luck!
