Breast Augmentation Consultation with Dr. Tammy Wu

Cost of the Breast Augmentation Consultation with Dr. Tammy Wu

Dr. Wu believes that good knowledge is the key to your success. This is the same belief that guided her to graduate #1 in her Ivy League Medical School, Brown University. She wants to give you the opportunity to learn as much about the augmentation process as you can.

There is a lot to discuss regarding breast augmentation. Be ready for a 2 hour one-on-one discussion and implant-size trial session with Dr. Wu. As with other cosmetic surgery consultations, the fee of the consultation itself is $200. However, the $200 is applied toward the breast surgery if scheduled within 6 months. In other words, the consultation fee is deducted from the the cost of plastic surgery. This is the policy for most hospital based cosmetic surgeries that we do.

We firmly believe that information and good pre-operative decision making is key to a great breast augmentation outcome. You will have much to think about during and after the consultation. We encourage patients to take the time to think about the information and ask us questions, even after the consultation.
