What are the age and health requirements for surgery at Muse Plastic Surgery?
For most surgical procedures, patients must be 65 or younger. All patients are required to obtain medical clearance from their primary care physician before surgery, including labs and potentially an EKG, depending on their medical history. Patient health and well-being are prioritized, and if a primary care physician deems a patient not healthy enough, the surgery will be canceled.

What payment and financing options are available for procedures?
Muse Plastic Surgery accepts cash and most major credit cards. They also offer in-house financing, which is paid off in monthly increments. All payments for surgery must be paid in full 30 days prior to the surgery date. Additionally, the practice accepts two outside third-party financing options: Care Credit and Prosper Healthcare, which patients must apply for separately.
How do I know if I need liposuction or a tummy tuck?
Many patients desiring liposuction may actually require a tummy tuck. Liposuction is recommended for those with little loose skin, potentially combined with skin tightening if necessary. Key factors for a good liposuction candidate include the absence of stretch marks and no overhanging skin flap. If you have significant excess skin, muscle separation (diastasis recti), or a skin overhang, you are likely a better candidate for a tummy tuck, as liposuction alone would result in a lot of loose skin, similar to a deflated tire.
Does the practice serve out-of-state or international patients?
Yes, the practice serves out-of-state and worldwide patients, providing follow-up and post-operative care.
What are the age and health requirements for surgery?
For most surgical procedures, there is a cutoff age of 65, meaning patients must be 65 or younger to qualify. Regarding health risks, qualification depends on the individual patient. All patients are required to obtain medical clearance from their primary care physician before surgery, along with necessary labs. An EKG may also be required depending on your medical history. If your primary care physician does not clear you due to health concerns, the surgery will be rescheduled, as your health and well-being are prioritized.
