FAQs

Is there a consultation fee?

To meet with Dr. Burgess, there is a consultation fee of $200. The consultation fee is collected over the phone when making your appointment, and a receipt will be mailed along with your new patient information packet.

What is the cost of surgery? What does it include?

Our cosmetic surgeries are priced per hour for anesthesia and operating room, with a separate surgeon’s fee. Therefore, the final cost depends on the procedure and time that it takes to perform. After an in-office consultation with Dr. Burgess, you will be provided with a cosmetic price quote.

Once you receive your price quote it will include the following:

  • Surgeon’s fee
  • Operating room fee
  • Anesthesia fee
  • Miscellaneous items needed for your specific procedure. (i.e. implants, bra, and garment)
  • Pre op and all of your post op visits for one year

Additional costs may include:

  • Mammogram and lab work (depending on your age and health)
  • Prescription medications
  • Pathology
  • Possible overnight facility fee

Can I make payments on my surgery?

You may apply for a pre-approved credit card specifically for medical care through CareCredit or Alphaeon. We also accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Read more about financing for plastic surgery.

How long do I need to recover?

For smaller cosmetic cases such as breast augmentation or lift, we would prefer you to have around a week of recovery. With larger, more complex surgeries such as a tummy tuck, we would prefer you to have two weeks of recovery.

Where is surgery performed?

Many of the surgeries are done at Meridian Park Medical Center, but some surgeries may be performed at other Legacy or Providence hospitals or certified surgery centers. A complete list of facilities where Dr. Burgess has privileges is below:

  • Legacy Meridian Park Hospital
  • Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital
  • Providence Newberg Hospital
  • Providence Willamette Falls
  • Providence St. Vincent Hospital
  • Center for Specialty Surgery
  • Wilshire Surgery Center

How soon can I have surgery done?

Depending on the surgery, you may be able to schedule within the same month. However, we are usually scheduling 4+ months out from your consultation date. Please plan in advance.

How often are follow-up visits?

You will have either an in person or virtual post op 1-3 days after surgery. Your specific surgery will determine when your next appointments will be. We love to see our patients annually once healed from surgery!

How soon can I get into a swimming pool or hot tub?

This depends on the procedure. After most surgeries you can get into a pool when your incisions have healed, usually after 6-8 weeks. However, hot tubs provide potential thermal injury and should not be entered for at least three months, especially after an abdominoplasty.

How soon after surgery can I travel?

Long distance travel is not recommended until at least 2-3 weeks after smaller procedures, and 3-4 weeks after larger procedures.
