How would you rate the pain of a mommy makeover? In comparison to a C-Sec, or worse? How long until most patients are able to move freely, shower, walk on there own?

Call your surgeon's office and ask to speak with your anesthesiologist. He or she would be best equipped to answer this question. Oftentimes, a substitute medication can be prescribed for the day of the surgery, but good job in being on top of this. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Any doctor use/accept Enhance Patient Financing????

Top Answer

If the surgeon that you want to use doesn't take Enhance, most offer financing on their own. Typically though Care Credit. I would start by finding a surgeon whose work you like. So sorry that you're not happy with your results. Best, Dr. Nazarian
