How long has Dr. Younger been practicing? And is he board certified?
Dr. Younger is both American Board and Canadian Board Certified, with over 20 years of experience Is there a fee for the consultation?
Yes, the fee is $100. Computer imaging, which may be helpful for nose or chin consultations, will be included if Dr. Younger indicates that this would be right for you. Is the consultation fee applied to the cost of surgery?
Yes, the consultation fee is applied to your final surgery cost. How long is the wait for a consultation?
The wait time is usually 2-3 weeks for a consultation with Dr. Younger. What is the cost for cosmetic surgery?
Every surgery is different; many factors are involved when determining a patientβs fee for surgery. Your fee will be determined by the procedure(s) you want done, where the surgery will be performed (in hospital or in office) and the amount of time and extent of work involved. Do you offer financing?
Payment must be made two weeks prior to surgery. There are two companies which finance patients, Medicard and Travelers Financial. You can make arrangements through our office to apply for financing with either of these companies. Is my procedure covered my MSP or Extended Health?
We do not deal directly with any extended health plans. Because all plans are different, you will have to contact your care provider to find out what your policy insures. Some procedures are covered or partially covered by MSP. After your consultation we could assist you in applying to MSP for full or partial coverage for your particular procedure. How long will I be off from work?
This entirely depends on the procedure you are having. Required time off can be discussed with Dr. Younger at the time of your consultation. Where are the surgeries preformed?
Again, this depends on the type of procedure you are having. If it is a procedure that is done under a general anesthetic, then it would be performed at either Vancouver General Hospital or Mount St. Josephs Hospital. If you require a local anesthetic, then it may be performed on an out-patient basis at Vancouver General Hospital or in the OR in our office. This will be determined at the time of your consultation. Is the surgery painful?
With any surgery there will be discomfort, but this is easily controlled with medication that Dr. Younger may prescribe for you. E-mail us to book an appointment Younger Facial Surgery Centre
