We've been offering virtual consultations since before COVID-19 made it super fashionable. The virtual consult can easily provide most patients with enough information to decide if they are interested in surgery and if we’re the right practice for them. So if an online consultation makes more sense for you and your schedule, let us know.
We have a fully equipped, private operating room in our
facility. This allows us to control your surgical
experience and care from beginning to end. We can
provide, general, twilight, or local anesthesia.
Reshape Plastic Surgery also has privileges at Rio Hospital. We offer that to provide patients a hospital environment or who will require an overnight hospital stay. The hospital is less than one mile from our office and the borderline.
We are known for meticulously planned and executed
cosmetic surgeries. This means breasts that are
carefully tailored to your goals in size and in shape.
It means facelifts that look like you - not like
facelifts. Tummy tucks that restore a flat, natural
abdomen and use hidden scars. Our goal is to make you
proud of a part of your body that, right now, makes you
self-conscious.
Our procedures include mommy makeovers, breast augmentation and breast implant revision, facelifts, tummy tucks and liposuction, a full range of fillers and Botox and about 40 other services.
Feel free to bring your spouse, significant other, family member, or friend to your consultation. Because of COVID-19, we ask that you only bring one guest to your consultation. If you’d like to involve more people, they are welcome to join by Facetime. We can also do Zoom consultations with multiple people.
As we mentioned above, each consultation is 1 hour long.
That's about 100 Tik-Tok videos. So we can
accomplish a lot.
To start, we’ll double-check your medical history. Most
of our patients are healthy but occasionally there are
medical issues that we will need to address prior to
your surgery.
One of our cosmetic surgery coordinators will review
your goals with you and we'll take preoperative
photos. The photos will serve as a record of your
starting point but, more importantly, we will use them
in your consultation to explain your surgery plan and
your likely results. Most patients find this informative
and helpful.
Reshape Plastic Surgery will review your goals with you.
Often, we will ask you to provide photos of what you
want to look like and we will discuss these with you in
detail. This step is especially important in breast
augmentation but applies to other surgeries as well. The
objective here is to develop a shared and crystal clear
target of what you want to achieve with your surgery.
If it sounds like we've mostly been listening at
this point, you're right. The consultation is
mostly about us learning about you and what you want.
We will then examine you and take any relevant
measurements. Now, we know exactly what your starting
point is and, from our previous discussion, where you
want to end up. With this knowledge, it's
straightforward to map out a surgical plan to take you
from point A to point B. We will explain this plan
thoroughly and will sketch it on your actual photos.
Based on your surgical plan, will give you an exact quote for the surgery. This will include the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia (we use a board-certified anesthesiologist) , operating room charges, implants, and supplies. The only items not included are any preoperative testing needed and post-operative prescriptions. If you'd like to schedule surgery, we will find you a date that fits your schedule.
If you cancel your 48 hours or more in advance, we will refund the $50 fee. Also, there is no additional charge for rescheduling your appointment so long as you do so at least 48 hours before the appointment. There are no refunds for appointments canceled or rescheduled less than 48 hours in advance.
Some people don't show up for appointments - sad
but true. If you miss your appointment at the DMV, the
DMV doesn't care. But for us, it's kind of a
big deal because we schedule a full hour for each new
patient. That's a sizable chunk of the day gone if
someone no-shows.
Of course, this problem is not unique to our practice. And yes, some plastic surgery practices do offer free consultations. But, as you know, nothing in life is really free. Well, good vibes are free. But good vibes don’t know how to do surgery. So if someone is offering you a free consultation two things are very likely:
We never double-book our consultations because,
sometimes, both people show up. And if that happens, you
end up waiting. A long time. So that cliche about
waiting forever in a doctor's waiting room, that
doesn't happen with us.
We're pretty convinced that the $50 is a great
value - especially if you value your time. But if you
don't think so after the consultation, we will
refund it, no questions asked.
We charge $50 for a consultation. The $50 can be applied to any surgery you schedule.
We have free indoor parking (lots of it). You can drive up to the third level and enter the building right by our office. Full disclosure: the parking lot does have a ridiculous number of speed bumps. They’re annoying. Trust us, we know.
