Are touch ups covered in the cost of your TT?

Revision policies are unique to the board certified plastic surgeon.  The patient must cover the OR fee, anesthesiologist fee, and any surgery supplies.  If the board certified plastic surgeon performed the first surgery, a reduced surgeon's fee or waived surgeon's fee is typical based upon the complexity of the revision.

Touch up costs vary by office.  This is a good thing to discuss with your surgeon during your consultation. Typically surgeons will address concerns as they are able in consideration of cost structures.

Hello and thank you for your question. You have to discuss this with your surgeon. Every practice has a different policy in terms of coverage of the cost of revision procedures. In our practice, touch ups as long as they are done under local anesthesia, are covered and are free of charge. If a general anesthesia  is needed, surgeon's fee is typically waved and patients are only responsible for the anesthesia and OR fee. I would encourage you to discuss all these issues with your plastic surgeon prior to your surgery. Best,

Thank you for your question. Following any cosmetic surgery, revisions may be required. It is up to the surgeon and his policies whether revisions are included in the original price. Most surgeons do not charge for revisions, but there may be a charge for the anesthesiologist or surgicenter if required.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Every surgeon is different in regards to this.  In my practice, all revisions all completely covered at no charge to the patient at all.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  

Best wishes and good luck.
