How much does a cosmetic consultation cost, and what if I already know what procedure I want? Based on national government and hospital guidelines, every patient is required to have a consultation prior to undergoing a surgical procedure. This allows the surgeon to assess medical history, anesthesia risk and discuss potential benefits and potential complications of a desired procedure so the patient may be well informed prior to consenting to proceed with surgery. Consultation fee is $100 and is requested at the time of scheduling the consult.

How long is a cosmetic consult and will I receive a quote? We request that you tell the receptionist what you’d like to be seen for so you can be appropriately scheduled for 30 or 60 minute consultations to allow adequate time. A price quote will be given for all cosmetic procedures or any not covered by insurance on the same day as your consultation.
