Cosmetic Surgery Gift Certificate: a Good Idea?
February 8th, 2012
While most women enjoy a gift certificate to their favorite boutique or for a day at the spa, cosmetic surgery is another matter. First of all, the gesture might have unintended consequences. No matter how well intended the gift may be, it might send the wrong message. The message might suggest that perhaps the recipient might need some facial rejuvenation surgery or body alteration. They may or may not agree, which can lead to discord. I strongly believe that cosmetic surgery is a personal choice.
When I am approached about gift certificates for cosmetic surgery, I suggest that scheduling a consultation may be the appropriate route, if both parties mutually agree upon considering surgery. I do not charge a fee for consultations in my office.

I recently had an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck with Dr. Bashioum and I wanted to thank him, as well as his staff. Dr. Bashioum and his staff were all very helpfully and informative.
The procedure went well and just 8 weeks later, I look and feel wonderful!
