Our cosmetic consultation provides us the opportunity to learn about you and your desired results. We believe it is important to spend time getting to know you personally so that we can best meet your needs.
During your appointment, you will meet with Dr. Cotter and members of his team where you will have the opportunity to share your goals and aspirations. Dr. Cotter will then discuss appropriate personalized options for your desired results. Once there is a clear understanding of the best next step for you, we will discuss treatment fees or draft a quote based on any necessary fees for your surgical plan.
We encourage you to visit the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ web site at http://plasticsurgery.org. Here you will find resources to answer many questions or perhaps help in prompting new questions for Dr. Cotter. We want you to feel confident in your understanding of any procedure you decide on.
Dr. Cotter is available for cosmetic consultations, procedures and treatments on Wednesdays and Fridays.
We operate primarily at one of two facilities on the campus of Shelby Baptist Medical Center in the comfort of Alabaster, Alabama just south of Birmingham.
