In March I was scheduled for a tummy tuck with a cosmetic surgeon (I was told by him that a cosmetic surgeon was just as qualified as a plastic surgeon)I found really bad reviews on him & asked for my deposit back. Since March his receptionist has been back and forth with me. I told them I would complain to Bomex because I went to other plastic surgeons and they told me I don't even have enough skin for a full tummy tuck. I'm not sure how I should deal with this. any advice would be appreciated.

Answer: Deposit refund Your situation is one that I have heard over and over again during my years of practice. Many plastic surgeons and those calling them plastic surgeons, try to pressure a patient to leave a nonrefundable deposit at the time of the initial consult because they know if you do you are less likely to cancel your surgery. The best chance of getting your money back is to call or write them a letter requesting the return of your deposit, your reasons for requesting it, and that you intend to take them to small claims court. If you do go to small claims court you may or may not win, depending on the contract. Just a threatening letter may be enough to get your desposit back. If you make enough of a nuisance of yourself you may get the deposit back.
