Pickings have never been better for patients seeking plastic surgery. The economic downturn has forced a lot of surgeons to slash their prices and give all kinds of discounts to attract new patients.

If you are interested in surgery, fillers or Botox, please make sure you are receiving these services from a Board Certified surgeon and make sure that you understand all of the services the price includes. For example, many surgeons charge extra for garments, photos, “cosmeceuticals” and other extras that should be explained before you sign on the dotted line. Also, and most importantly, make sure the surgery is performed in a certified operating facility.

Remember, we have to make a living just like everyone else but safety, care and honesty never changes.
