Is Money Holding You Back From Having The Body You Want?

Have you been thinking about having a cosmetic surgery procedure and are not sure if you can afford it?

Have you applied for a cosmetic surgery loan and been declined?

Would you like to have larger, fuller breasts without paying the entire balance up front?

Have you gone through a recent divorce and were told your credit score is too low?

You are not alone...

We know that raising a family can come with many sacrifices, and is often a reason to put off having cosmetic surgery. Daycare, college funds, and mortgage payments can all make paying in full for surgery difficult.

Other events, such as divorce or even identity theft can negatively affect your credit history, making approval for a loan almost impossible.

If you identify with any of these situations, we have lenders who can help make your cosmetic surgery financing possible.

Imagine...

A cosmetic surgery financing company that has an 83% percent approval rate with payments as low as $87 dollars per month.

A competitive interest rate.

Having your procedure now without spending most of your savings.

A lender that will work with unique situations.

Being able to pick your payment option.

We want to make your cosmetic surgery financing easy!

To find out how you can apply now...

Call (253) 303-3813 and ask for Tammy, our financial coordinator.

“I had spent more than 13 years thinking about breast augmentation, but was too nervous to call or make an appointment with a doctor. I was relieved when my best friend told me to listen to a tele-consult. All of my concerns were addressed and I felt more at ease and comfortable making my decision to proceed with surgery. Thank You!”

What You Should Ask Before Your Cosmetic Surgery Procedure!

Here are some helpful questions to ask your plastic surgeon!


How much experience do you have?

So far this year, our surgeons have completed nearly 1500 cosmetic surgery procedures.

This number includes breast augmentations, breast lifts/reductions, tummy tucks, liposuctions and rhinoplastys ("nose" jobs). We specialize in Breast Augmentation, Post-Baby Body changes, and after weight loss body re-contouring.

How long has the physician performed the procedure?

Our surgeons have between 20-30 years of experience doing these procedures. On larger surgical cases, our surgeons will often work together to get the patient the best possible outcome. Each is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.


Who will administer and monitor the sedation?


At the Avalon Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery, you will be closely monitored by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNAs).

CRNAs are anesthesia specialists and their main role is to monitor and administer the anesthesia medications during the duration of your entire procedure.

CRNAs are board certified and mandatory continuing education is required for re-certification every two years.

How long will the procedure last?

The actual surgery time varies on the type of procedure being performed.

Breast Augmentation (Saline or Silicone implants) is generally less than 1 hour.
Tummy Tuck on average takes less than 3 ½ hours.
Breast Lift takes less than 2 ½ hours
Breast Reduction less than 3 hours
Rhinoplasty (surgery of the nose) less than 2 hours
Liposuctions (length of time varies depending on what areas are treated at the same time) average surgery time ranges between 45 minutes to 3 hours.


*For safety reasons, the Avalon Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery has a standard requirement for the length of operating time. Surgeries generally do not exceed 5 hours.

In some cases, some surgeries may not be performed together for safety or other reasons and in cases such as these; the procedures are done staged (at a later time, usually 3-6 months later)


How long with the sedation effects last?

This will also vary from patient to patient. Some effects of the medications can last up to 8 hours after the surgery.

At the Avalon Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery, we require that anyone having surgery has a "Support Person" to be with them at all times for at minimum, the first 24 hours following any procedure performed at our clinic.

How long will it take to recover in the facility before discharge?

Once the surgery is completed, the patient is transported to the recovery room where they normally will spend approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour before going home. During this time, the patient is monitored and a nurse checks vitals. The support person is asked to be present to go over post-op medication instructions and what to expect in the recovery process.

Where will the surgery take place?

At the Avalon Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery, we have 2 certified and QUAD A accredited operating rooms on site. These operating rooms are subject to regular frequent inspections are required to follow OSHA regulations and standards.

What are the emergency plans?

Robert J. Kenevan, medical director and surgeon for the Avalon Clinic of Cosmetic Surgery, developed Kode Team, a pharmaceutical emergency / safety system to be used in hospitals and out-patient surgical facilities such as ours. The entire staff at the Avalon Clinic is certified in CPR, the Operating room staff is ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certified. In addition to that, the medical staff trains 3 times per year with local paramedics. We know that emergencies can and do sometimes occur. We take patient safety seriously and understand the value of emergency training.

To which hospital would I be taken?

If an emergency situation arises that cannot be handled at the clinic, patients are transported to St. Clare hospital by ambulance. The hospital is less than 2 miles from our clinic.


Will post-operative medicine be necessary?

Most patients experience discomfort after surgery. Pain medication is prescribed after surgery and with some procedures such as a tummy tuck, a comfort pump is also given. These will help minimize the discomfort during your recovery process.

Will there be noticeable scarring?

All surgery involves some scarring, and because each patient is unique you need to discuss your questions about scarring with your surgeon during your consultation.

What realistic result can I expect?

Each person is unique therefore it is important for the doctor to examine you and discuss your personal goals. Our priority is educating our patients on every step of the way. Some people think that just because they are paying for something that they can have it done. We do turn away, approximately three out of twenty patients, who are not a candidate due to excessive weight, smoking (for certain procedures), a history of blood clots, or certain medications such as coumadin (a blood thinner). We want you to have an accurate expectation of exactly what plastic surgery can achieve for you.

Will the physician perform the procedure from the first cut to the last stitch?

Yes. The doctor will remain with you throughout your entire procedure.

What are the risks associated with this procedure?

All surgeries carry some degree of risk. During your consultation you will be fully informed, and your surgeon will discuss the specific risks and complications associated with your procedure. Be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions you have, if you smoke, if you are on any medications, and if you have had any previous surgery. We want to get a complete evaluation of your medical history and/or existing medical conditions so we can provide you with maximal safety. In some situations we will ask you for a medical clearance from your physician in order to proceed with surgery. Without this clearance from your physician, surgery will not be completed at The Avalon Clinic. Our surgeons also meet three times a month to discuss certain patient situations as a group.

What are the warning signs or concerns to watch for?

We provide training for your caregiver to make sure they are able to recognize any warning signs, such as illness or allergic reaction. They are given information prior to your surgery and again in the recovery room so that they are fully prepared to take care of you. We have a nurse and surgeon on call and available 24 hours a day to answer any questions you might have during the healing process.


We know that cosmetic surgery is not without risks and want you to have the information you need to make a decision that is right for you!

The Avalon Clinic makes patient safety and education their number one priority.
