For Cosmetic Procedures

Cosmetic Consultations range from $50 to $125 which is due at the time of the consultation. A global fee quote is given to the patient regarding any specified procedure desired. The global fee quote includes Dr. Kahler’s Surgical Fee, the Facility Fee, Recovery Room Costs, Anesthesia Charges, Nursing Services, Pre-Operative visit, Post-Operative visits for 6 months, Garments & Dressings, and Implant Costs, if needed. Please note this quote does not include charges for necessary pre-operative tests, if required, or for prescription medications needed around the time of surgery. (ex: mammogram, lab work, x-rays, medical clearance, etc.). We will honor the Surgical Fee Quote for twelve months from the date of the consultation.

A ten percent (10%) deposit is required at the time you schedule your surgery to reserve your surgery date. The remaining balance is due at your Pre-Operative Appointment which is usually scheduled two to three (2-3) weeks before your surgery date. The initial deposit may be retained by West Georgia Center for Plastic Surgery if you cancel your surgery for a non-emergency reason.

Medicine is by its very nature an inexact science. Therefore, revisions or enhancements to the original surgical procedure are sometimes recommended by Dr. Kahler or desired by the patient. Revision surgery is rare, but sometimes necessary. If the revision is performed within the first six (6) months following the initial surgery, only anesthesia and supplies will be charged to you. If the revision is requested more than six (6) months following the initial surgery, additional professional and/or facility fees may apply as well. These fees will be discussed on a case by case basis.
