The Most Important Factor
The single most important factor in the success of your plastic-surgery experience is the plastic surgery team you choose. Our motto is "It's all about you." Dr. Griffith and his staff endeavor to live up to the expectation of this motto. The consultation is your opportunity to share your concerns and desires with Dr. Griffith. He will explore your options with you to see how he can meet your expectations. At this first consultation you will meet with your patient coordinator who will be your contact person throughout the pre-op and post-op period. She will go over financing and be happy to answer any questions or concerns that arise. You may also view educational materials and tour our certified operating suite at this time.
Usually about two weeks before surgery, you will meet with Dr. Griffith again for a thorough physical examination and appropriate laboratory studies will be done at this time. We want to assure you that your safety is our first priority. Your care after surgery may include massage treatments, make-up and hair care, and/or skin care. We will make every effort to help ensure that you are pleased from your initial consult through your aftercare.

- For our breast augmentation patients, we offer, at no charge, the
ten-year extended warrantee for surgeon fees up to $2400.
- For our liposuction, tummy tuck and some face-lift patients we offer professional massage treatment and elastic garments.
- We offer complimentary post-operative bras to our augmentation and cosmetic breast reduction patients.
- For our facial laser resurfacing and face-lift patients we offer a facial and pre- and post-op cosmetics consult with our aesthetician.

Financing Programs
 Our financial coordinators are readily available to meet with you personally to provide the specific information you desire. They specialize in this area and will use their expertise to help you obtain the best payment option available to you.
Payment for cosmetic surgery is due in full at the time of your pre-operative clinic appointment. This is generally 10-14 days before your surgery. We provide a number of payment options which may be used individually or combined according to your wishes.
 We are now using Reliance Finance Company for our patients' financing.
Surgical Fee Estimates
As patients consider surgery, they frequently need information about the various payment options. We hope the following information regarding payment options and ballpark surgical fee estimates will be helpful.
We provide only "ballpark" surgical fee estimates on our web site as each fee depends on the operating time involved, surgical technique used, and type of anesthesia. You will be given an individual fee quote at consultation that is good for six months.
Dr. Griffith's Board Certified Surgeon's fee includes:
- Usual and customary care after surgery
- Routine pre-operative lab studies
- Operating room time and supplies on day of surgery (AAAASF certified center)
- Anesthesia services
- Implants and post-surgical bra
