I want to cancel breast augmentation! What should I do?

Every practice is different but in most cases the majority of the surgical fee would be refundable if you cancel within 4 weeks.  Your surgeon may have more strict financial policies which should be clearly defined in the paperwork that you signed but one thing is sure, the sooner you inform your surgeon you are having second thoughts the more likely you are to get your fees returned.  Call your surgeon's office TODAY and relay your feelings.Best of luck to you!G.

Definitely make an appointment to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.You certainly don't want to undergo this operation if you are unsure about it!

Thanks for reaching out.  My advice is to go speak with your surgeon right away.  Let them know of your concerns and your hesitation.  Remember Plastic Surgeons are Doctors.  In general we are compassionate and empathetic individuals who have chosen a field in medicine.  Even though the paper works states that I am sure they will be reasonable with you.  Maybe they will offer a partial refund or even the whole thing.I hope this helps :)

Thank you for your question.  The best answer is usually being honest.  Many times the paperwork can state no refunds but if you explain your emotional uncertainty and how you feel being rushed and not comfortable with proceeding when your surgery more than likely you may get your investment back.  A reputable surgeon would prefer to have a patient who wants surgery or admits they are not ready than one who feels pressured to move forward because of potential financial loss.  Good luck.

I would just talk to your surgeon.  Most offices will give you a refund especially if it is 4 weeks away.  We don't want to do procedures on patients who really are not 100% committed.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
