How to pick among them (quick checklist)

  • Ask for the named surgeon and their annual case volume for your procedure.
  • Request before/after photos for patients with a similar baseline.
  • Get an itemized quote (surgeon, OR, anesthesia, implants/devices, garments, follow-ups).
  • Clarify aftercare (visit cadence, emergency line, revision policy).
  • If you need English, confirm interpreter availability and written instructions.
