The surgeons payment methods.
There are a number of ways you can pay for your operation:

• Banker's draft (Certified bank cheque)
• BACS transfer (=online transfer)
• Cash in Pounds Sterling or Euros

PS : The surgeons does no encourage people to take up loans for cosmetic surgery, as this make the procedure more expensive in the end.  Hence, they don't offer finance.

The surgeon's guarantee of outcomes + warranty of implants
Despite the best efforts of both patients and plastic surgeon, a small percentage of surgeries will not have the best outcomes, or it may be that the patient wants a perfect result

As the healing processes of the body are not always predictable, a plastic surgery result may be potentially affected by many factors including complications (e.g., infection) or undesired results in the size or shape of the surgically treated area (eg too big or too small breast implants, chosen by the patient herself).  As a result, additional surgery may be needed to obtain the desired or perfect result.

The need for this additional surgery for elective plastic surgery is estimated to be about 10 - 15%, which may be higher or lower depending upon the particular procedure being performed. So you can see that its occurrence is not rare.  It is important for all patients considering plastic surgery to understand that undesired postoperative results can and do occur, and the potential need for revision exists with every surgical procedure.  Let me reiterate these points again: · surgical outcomes can not be guaranteed, · the need for revisional (= repair of a complication) or additional (= towards a more perfect result) surgery in elective cosmetic surgery is not rare · and, when needed, incurs expense to perform.

Should an extra procedure be necessary, the sticking point that most consistently generates friction is not that more surgery may be needed....but the expenses incurred in so doing.  In other words, who is going to pay for it?  These issues are particularly relevant to those patients who have limited financial resources and have expended those resources in having the original procedure performed.  The potential need for additional surgery and its costs should be considered during the decision-making process when contemplating any form of elective cosmetic surgery.

Any additional surgery (eg. scar correction) under a local anaesthetic is free of charge. Most additional surgery under a twilight is £    , and under a general anaesthetic is £    during the first 3 years.  The cost for changing the implants in case too big/small is £     within the first 2 years.  The cost for a revision eg capsular contracture, scars, …) is around £    during the first 3 years, unless in case of infection or malposition of the implant.  In those cases is it free of charge.

The cost of changing a broken implant within the first 5 years is approximately £   .  After liposuction or liposculpture, the cost for removing more fat at the same area is 1/3 (one third ) of the cost of the initial operation when done within the first 2 years (on the condition that the patient has the same or a lighter weight).  Note : some clinics promise a warranty during the first year , but this is the time that you are healing, and in most cases it is best to wait at least 6 months , if not 12 months in order to assess the outcome of the original surgery.  We only charge a small fee, in order to cover the anaesthetist.  In most cases revision surgery is not truly a revision, but designed to have a more perfect outcome (so reaching closer to perfection).
