Considerations in the Cost Impact of Complications and Revisional Surgery in Cosmetic Oculofacial Surgery

A number of unhappy factors converge in the care of any disappointed aesthetic surgery patient, including the psychological aspects for the patient and how these concerns additionally burden the care team (see Chaps. 28 and 29). Monetary costs that factor in include the financial costs incurred by the patient, time, pain and suffering, potential litigation with legal and settlement costs, and costs incurred by a care team that may be reluctant to pass the entire financial burden on to the patient.
