People often wonder what will happen at the consultation. Each office has their own protocol, so no two consultations will be the same. I’ll break down how we do consultations at The Bougainvillea Clinique and why!
-We offer consultations Monday through Friday. Tuesdays with Dr. Hartog and the remainder of the week with his surgical consultant, personally trained by Dr. Hartog. We understand that everyone has different schedules and commitments, so we work hard to accommodate our patients. Ideally, patients like to meet Dr. Hartog but he has to have time to operate too. If you have an appointment with his surgical consultant, at your pre-op visit you’ll meet with Dr. Hartog personally. Bottom line is that we’ll make sure you meet with Dr. Hartog before your procedure!
-Breast augmentation consultation patients often want to size the day they consult. However, this is a very time consuming process. Therefore, we reserve sizing for the pre-operative visit. A lot of time is blocked out for pre-op patients, so there is no rushed feeling for either the patient or pre-op nurse. Sizing is a big deal in patients minds and understandably so. It’s our goal to make sure that each patient is confident about the size they select.
-We do show all of our consultations before and after pictures of any procedure or procedures they may be interested in.
-We tour everyone through our ACHA accredited surgery center. Dr. Hartog is the only plastic surgeon in Orlando with a proper ACHA Medicaid surgery center.
-You will receive an exact quote. We will let you know what’s included and what’s not so that you can plan and budget for your procedure.
-We will answer ALL of your questions and help you with ANY concerns you have! Surgery is a big step and a lot of people are hearing words, medical jargon, for the first time in their lives. It’s our job to help break everything down and educate you every step of the way.
-Last but not least, we want to make you feel part of our wonderful family. This will be a relationship that will last a very long time!

There is no question the economy changed the game for just about every single one of us out there. Most of us have cut back and reevaluated our spending habits. So, it comes as no surprise that patients want what they feel is the best “deal” on cosmetic surgery. While cosmetic surgery is fun and exciting, it is still surgery. Surgery must be treated with respect and taken with the utmost seriousness.
Surgical fees aren’t just pulled out of the air and can be wheedled down in manner of a new car. For example, breast augmentation surgery uses implants. Implants cost us money, they aren’t free to surgeons. Implants can cost hundreds to even thousands of dollars. There are many more expenses that go into procedures that may not occur to the average patient. For example, many disposable items are used, surgical equipment, multiple staff members and a board certified physician to take care of you every step of the way.
Dr. Hartog takes great care to be mindful of costs from our Orlando patients to our international patients. We have our own ACHA surgery center attached to The Bougainvillea Clinique that helps eliminate the costs associated with large hospital surgery centers. And we closely monitor inventories to help eliminate shortages which aide in keeping costs down.
You deserve the best and safest when it comes to your cosmetic surgery procedure. Sometimes in life you get what you pay for and when it comes to your body and well-being, it should be considered priceless.
Dr. Hartog is a board certified plastic surgeon and often new patients want to know what that means exactly. I took some information from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website, so that patients can further educate themselves on why a board certified plastic surgeon is a must. While we would love to help each and every patient out there, we know that there are other qualified options out there. Whether you come to the Bougainvillea Clinique or go elsewhere, we strongly encourage you to choose a board certified surgeon. You’ll be glad you did!
Below was taken from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons:
“Many health care providers are now performing plastic surgery procedures, but that doesn’t mean they’re all qualified to perform plastic surgery. ASPS Member Surgeons are trained in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of all types.
Members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The ABPS is approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify physicians in plastic surgery of the face and all areas of the body.
When you choose an ASPS Member Surgeon you know your surgeon:
Has at least 6 years of training and experience in surgery, with 3 years specifically in plastic surgery
Is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
Operates only in accredited medical facilities
Adheres to a strict code of ethics
Fulfills continuing education requirements, including patient safety techniques
Will be your partner, working to achieve your goals
To make sure your surgeon has these outstanding qualifications, look for the ASPS Member Surgeon symbol.”
I am very pleased to announce that I have been appointed as a clinical consultant to Cytori Therapeutics, world leaders in fat grafting, fat banking and adipose stem and regenerative cell (ADRC) therapeutic technologies. As the medical director of the Liquid Gold Lipobank, the first clinic based FDA registered fat bank in the US, I have already accumulated a significant amount of data as to the safety and effectiveness of using banked fat in my grafting procedures. We have so far utilized banked fat for facial rejuvenation, hand rejuvenation, and breast aesthetic and reconstructive procedures with excellent results. It is primarily in the area of fat grafting and the clinical use of banked fat that I hope to work with Cytori to continuously improve the technology and expand the clinical applications.
According to Real Self (realself.com), buttock augmentation was the most searched for procedure in 2011. They anticipate it to be just as huge (no pun intended) this year too.Real Self Buttock Augmentation Article
Orlando is #2 country for butt lift/augmentation searches! I guess it’s safe to say the “City Beautiful” really wants there baby to have back!
There are two types of butt augmentation:
1. Buttock Implants
2. Fat injections (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Buttock implants have the same risks as any implants. There is always a risk for infection, they may feel firmer and more recovery.
Fat injections (a.k.a. Brazilian Butt Lift) is awesome because patients receive the added benefit of liposuction. Fat is removed from unwanted areas, cleaned and reinjected into the buttocks to create a fuller rounder bottom. This is the method Dr. Jeffery Hartog prefers. With today’s techniques, Dr. Hartog can literally sculpt and create the buttocks of your dreams. That’s why we consider your fat to be LIQUID GOLD. You can literally turn your unwanted fat into something you desire! Additionally, you can bank your fat in fat bank and get injections to buttocks or anywhere else any time YOU want!
For those interested in the state-of-the-art research on adipose derived stem and regenerative cell treatments for chronic heart failure and acute myocardial infarction, this slide presentation is excellent. These studies have been conducted in Europe by Cytori of San Diego. Hopefully these treatments will be available to patients in the US before too long.
As I’ve posted previously, Suzanne Somers’ recently completed breast reconstruction with cell enriched fat, similar to the procedure Dr. Hartog performs at our facility the Adrecyte Regenerative Medicine and Surgery Center.
Did you know that we offer Waxing, Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis?? One could say we are in the hairy…well maybe NOT so hairy business!
What’s the difference you ask? Great question!
1. Waxing: the hair is removed for 2-4 weeks
2. Laser Hair Removal: There will be a permanent “REDUCTION” in hair…some hair will grow back in time but significantly less than before laser treatments.
3. Electrolysis: This is the only FDA approved method for PERMANENTLY removing hair.
They all have pro’s and con’s…you have a quick fix and processes that require more of your time. The Bougainvillea Clinique offers all hair removal options so every patient can find something to fit within their budgetary and lifestyle needs.
