Surgery Days:

Dr. Bednar & Pratt operates Tuesday through Friday.

Surgery is scheduled on a first- come / first-serve basis.  Surgery times cannot be guaranteed; however, we will make every effort to accommodate each patient’s needs.

Pre-Operative Appointments:

When your deposit of 50% has been received and a surgery date selected, a pre-op appointment will be made.  Please allow 1 hour for this appointment.  This appointment will be with one of our medical staff.  At the pre-op appointment you will sign paperwork, go over any questions you may have before surgery, take required photos, and pay the remainder of the surgery fee, if any.

Your pre-op appointment must take place within 2 weeks of your surgery date and at least 1 day before.  Please call the office for the specific times that have been allotted for such appointments.  Please make sure that you are on time.  You may be asked to reschedule if you are unable to be on time.

Additional Fees:

Required lab work, prescriptions, garments, and pathology, if needed, are the financial responsibility of the patient. 

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Patients:

You are responsible for scheduling an appointment to get fitted for your compression garments to wear after surgery.  You will be given a prescription for your garments at the time of scheduling your surgery.  Garments can range from $100-$300 depending on what is required for your surgery.

Patients requiring Medical Clearance:

All women and men of 50 and 40 years of age, respectively will need medical clearance.  In addition, depending on your medical history, Dr. Bednar & Pratt may require individuals to submit further test results in order to be cleared for surgery.  Surgery will not be scheduled until all required labs are received -there will be no exceptions.  You will be given a medical clearance form at your consultation.
