I had surgery done which distorted my features and I'm not happy with it. Is it "bad" to ask for a refund or a partial refund? I have been told that the surgery is not reversible (a midface lift through the eye, facelift, and rhinoplasty) and it has totally changed the appearance of my eyes and the character of my face. I've been struggling to accept this, but feel that I didn't pay a lot of money (in all, around 75k), to look much worse. Would it be wrong for me to ask for a refund or partial refund?

Answer: Refund After Surgery Hello, Thank you for your question. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own financial policies. I recommend that you contact your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns. Depending on how long it's been since your procedure, you may want to wait several months to elevate your final outcome. Take care.

Answer: Refund Refunds are a very difficult topic in plastic surgery. From a legal and logistic point of view, refunds are seen as a reportable occurrence to the American board of Plastic Surgery, and as such most plastic surgeons are not inclined to provide a refund. If the request comes in written form, then it absolutely has to be reported to the board, and the likelihood of you receiving a settlement would be minimal. I am always willing to engage in discussions with my patients regarding their financial outlay and their outcome. I think this would be the most prudent course for you .
