Therefore, we would like to remind everybody that there is an extraordinary opportunity for having cosmetic procedures performed by plastic surgery trainees supervised by board certified faculty, an opportunity where the quality of academic cosmetic surgery meets your budget! Those who choose to enroll in the Residents Aesthetic Surgery Program may receive services with significantly reduced professional fees. Just check out this opportunity: consultations are free of charge and even during your consultations a dedicated board certified faculty will provide you with feedback, answering your questions and reaffirming what you have heard from a resident. Practically, you will get two consultations at once!
