Understanding the Cost of Body Contouring Surgery
Body contouring’s price tag is one that shouldn’t deter clients from getting the surgery. Several plastic surgeons, including Dr. Mouchantat, work with patients via payment plans. Some insurance companies might even cover a portion of the cost. Loans can suffice when funds haven’t been allocated yet.
