Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the consultation?
Please allow at least one hour for your consultation. We strive to spend as much time needed with each patient (new and old) to answer all questions and to have a thorough visit.
2) What can I expect during my consultation at Timeless Plastic Surgery?
When you arrive for your consultation, you can expect a professional and comforting greeting from our front office staff. You will be given a few forms to fill out, which will help us get a better understanding of why you are here and also a peek into your health history. After you have completed the forms, you will be taken back and introduced to your consultant.
The consultant will speak with you about what you would like to change about your body, discuss your expectations, and have you look at our numerous before and after photographs. These images will give you an opportunity to find patients who have a similar “before” look and to check out their results from a particular procedure. After reviewing the photos and meeting with your consultant, you will then be introduced to Dr. Chang for the final step of your consultation. Your surgeon will speak with you regarding recommendations for you and what you should expect. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS DURING YOUR CONSULTATION. We want you to feel as though you’re gaining knowledge of the surgery.
Toward the end of your consultation, your consultant will give you detailed quotes of the procedure(s) that you and your surgeon have decided on. If you are interested in financing or our payment plans, that information will be given to you at this time. Finally, if you are ready to schedule the procedure, you can do so right then, or you can go home and give our office a call when you are ready. Quotes are valid for 30 days.
3) Can I bring my husband/friend/family member to my consultation?
You are welcome to bring 1 adult guest. We do ask that you try to make an arrangement for your children, as we prefer that the attention be focused on YOU. This appointment may be lengthy, and we do not have entertainment for children. However, we understand schedules and childcare arrangements, so we are happy to see you even if your children must attend the consultation as well.
4) If I feel that I am ready to move forward with surgery, when can I schedule?
Dates are based on our surgery schedule availability. Per your request, available surgery dates will be given to you during your consultation. Please note that surgery dates are first-come-first-serve and can ONLY be reserved with a non-refundable scheduling fee.
5) Once surgery has been scheduled, do I have any appointments before then?
Yes. You will need to schedule your preoperative appointment three (3) weeks before your surgery date. This will be when you sign off on surgical documents, take before photos, place any remaining balance, and meet with the physician and nurse to review any instructions for your upcoming surgical date.
6) Am I obligated to schedule surgery during my consultation?
NO! We understand that some patients might not be financially, emotionally, or physically (work, child care, etc.) ready for their transformation into a Timeless Beauty. We want every patient to feel completely comfortable, and we offer a pressure-free environment. When the time is right, you will know, and we will be there for you 100% from beginning to end.
