Transparency

At Southern Surgical Arts, we tell you everything up front, leaving nothing out. You'll get nothing but the fullest explanation of the procedure, a full disclosure of where and how it would occur, and what to expect in terms of results and recovery time. We will never give you unrealistic promises and will always disclose what you can expect from your procedure.

Cost

Our total costs are all-inclusive, covering all internal costs (anesthesia, operating room fees, and surgeon's fees), as well as routine follow-up visits. There are no hidden or undisclosed fees. Our staff will let you know if there will be additional charges, which usually consist of prescriptions, labs and additional garments.
