Is Negotiating Cost a Myth?

User Avatar

Several people (including some in the medical field) have mentioned to me, since most plastic surgery is elective, price can sometimes be negotiable. Is this true and a common practice in the PS field? Or is this an urban legend? I'd hate to insult a surgeon by asking to negotiate. Thank you!
