Can You Get a Deposit Back?

Question

I put down a small deposit down to get a lift and augmentation. I had a date set for 3 1/2 weeks out. I decided not to go along with the surgery because I felt as if the doctor did not provide the a good consult or verbally speak enough to me. Is it possible to get that back? I have been trying to contact and email the surgical coordinator to no avail or help. How can I get my deposit back if its possible? Thank you very much for any answers.

All you can do is review the policy that was signed.  It should spell this out for you.  If you are interested in getting the procedure performed, find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts and breast augmentations each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello and thank you for your question.  As stated previously, all offices will have their own policies.  If they will not refund your deposit, you can ask them if they will allow you to apply that money towards something else that their practice may offer (examples being facials, waxing, products, etc).  They may not allow this, but it may be worth asking if you cannot get your money back.  Best of luck!

Each office will have its own policy regarding refunds, and you should have received a written copy somewhere along the line. Some are not refundable, some in refundable in part or whole depending upon how long before surgery is the cancellation. 

	But my office policy will have no bearing on the policies of the surgeon with whom you have been dealing. Best wishes.
