Cost of surgery?

Shouldn't great doctor's be booked for month's? Has anyone seen a plastic surgeon in San Francisco. Let me know

hey, i dont know if u have already gotten ur surgury, but if u havent...i have had a nose job in 2003. I went two 3 different doctors, even though after the first one, i had already really made up my mind. He specialized in facial and nose surgurys. after our consult, i told him i would get back to him, there was no pressure and i was honest with him telling him i was going to check out other doctors. when i finally came back he was booked moths ahead of time. i made my appointment 2 months ahead of time, but thats what u want. I sat down with his assistant and she gave me all the percriptions and things i had to do months ahead. She told me what viatamins to take so i wont have brusing undermy eyes. and it works! i had NO black and blue or swollen anything. He was amazing...

Just do ur research.. i dont see how someone can possible do a surgury the same week, u need time to prepare. But if they can and it works out.. then more power to them.

Let me know what u chose and if i was any help!
