What Common Mommy Makeover Procedures Offer Free Touch-ups?

After a mommy makeover, or any cosmetic surgery, I offer free touch-ups.  This usually includes things that can be done in the office.  However, a facility fee may be charged to cover the cost of the supplies.  If you have to go back to the operating room, you may have an anesthsia charge.  However, I wouldn't let this get in the way of getting a procedure done with a very high satisifaction rate!

I think most surgeons offer some type of touch p or revision policy.  The reason is that we try to give the patients the best results possible.  Also, by having a set policy, they is no misunderstanding later on what a patient may need to pay for.  We do not charge a professional fee for any revision needed in the first year but patient would have to pay anesthesia/operating room fees if required.  However, most touch ups or revisons are usually minor and can be done under local.

A mommy makeover is a big operation.  On occassion, patients require revisions.  Most of the time they are minor scar issues that can be addressed with local anesthesia in the office.  More important is for you to ask your surgeon how often he/she needs to revise their surgery.

Offering a 'free touch-up' after mommy make-over is a vague offer that requires you obtain additional information prior to embarking on surgery. It is common for plastic surgeons to do minor revisional procedures, commonly called a touch-up, after cosmetic surgery. This may involve a minor scar revision, a touch-up to any liposuction that was performed etc. Most often, these procedures are done under local anesthesia in the surgeon's office. It is common to have a small facility fee to cover the costs of any supplies required.

It is common for plastic surgeons to have a policy on this specific issue, especially with regard to cost and responsibility for costs of revision.

I would be specific about what "touch-up" means and the specific policy before you move forward.  It doesn't necessarily mean that the procedure has a higher complication rate.
