What happens if labs aren't normal?
Surgery is postponed or cancelled. Low hemoglobin, uncontrolled blood pressure or glucose, or an abnormal EKG are reasons a surgeon will not proceed. We don't force surgery — your safety comes before our sale. Deposits in this situation are handled per our policies page.
During and after surgery
Accredited facilities, experienced plastic surgeons, anesthesiologist present throughout, and medical insurance for complications included. After surgery, a nurse monitors you around the clock in the first days and your surgeon sees you at your Day 7 post-op appointment.
