Common questions

How much does surgery cost?
Cost depends on the procedure and your plan. We go through it with you at your consultation, so there are no surprises.
Does insurance cover it?
Cosmetic procedures are usually not covered. Some reconstructive procedures, such as breast reduction, may be, and we review this with you at the consultation.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through third-party patient financing. We explain the details at your consultation.
How long is recovery?
It varies by procedure and by person. Dr. Linden gives you an honest view of recovery for your own plan at the consultation.
How do I choose a surgeon?
Look for board certification, take time to ask questions, and choose someone who is candid about risks, recovery and realistic results.
