Every surgeon has his schedule differently. This is a quick surgery, so at our office we can get this to work in about 2-3 weeks. There are others that may only operate once a week, and so their schedule may be booked for a couple of months. It is never a bad idea to go an get more information. When you are thinking of it, that is the time to go get a consultation. Good luck with your search for a surgeon and all the details of a perfect augmentation for you.

Our goal with the consultation process is to provide you with all the information you need to make a well-informed decision as to whether plastic surgery is right for you. Your consultation will begin with your initial inquiry via telephone or e-mail. In addition to scheduling an appointment, you will have the opportunity to ask any preliminary questions. On the day of your consultation, you will fill out our health history and registration paperwork, as well as watch an educational video produced by Dr. Mills about the procedure. After the video, you will meet with Dr. Mills and our patient coordinator who will ask what you are looking to achieve through plastic surgery and take the time to address your specific needs and expectations. Dr. Mills will then review with you what to expect with surgery and advise you on his recommendations specifically for you. We will also provide you with an informational packet and show you before and after photos of Dr. Mills’ patients. Additionally, if you would like to speak to a former patient about a procedure, we would be happy to provide you with a phone reference. We ask that you allow approximately an hour and a half for your consultation visit. To schedule a consultation, you can call or contact the Aesthetic Plastic Surgical Institute online.

Dr. Mills is aware that most cosmetic surgery procedures are not covered by insurance. For this reason, we offer financing services to provide patients with a number of payment options that can help make plastic surgery more affordable. Furthermore, we accept several different forms of payment, including American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and PatientFi. During your consultation, Dr. Mills and our staff will work with you to determine a payment option that is right for you.
