Title: FFS questions
Post by: Stormy Pichu on May 18, 2015, 12:24:22 PM
I'm curious about brow ridge reconstruction... What is an estimate of how much it costs , is it possible to do a payment plan for FFS?

Costs are: surgeons fee, anesthesiologist fee, surgical room, recovery room 1 night, medication and other hospital fees...
How much it costs together in the end really depends on where you decide to go, which country, how expensive hospital, how expensive is surgeon, etc...

Cost for this procedure only could be from $7000 to $15,000. But I suggest you contact some surgeons offices for more precise estimation.

Can I get a recommendation of an office in the U.S? I don't like planes ;~;

Surgeons (that I'm aware of) in US...

- dr. Deschamps Braly and his asistant dr. Ousterhout *
- dr. Spiegel *
- dr. Meltzer
- dr. Gary Alter
- dr. Harrison Lee (apparently)
- dr. Eppley


I'm not into promoting anyones services, but I may or may not have meant something with an * sign.
I don't like planes either.

I doubt any of FFS surgeons offer payment plan. Maybe someone else knows...

Banks don't happen to let people take out loans for that kind of stuff do they?... Like a 30k USD loan?

Some surgeons have financing options available with outside companies such as: Care Credit (carecredit.com).
