I was informed that I will need correction of briachoplasty "dog ears" and that this procedure can be done in the surgeons office.  Has anyone had this done?  Did you have to pay additional or  was it included in the original cost?  Was it done in the surgeons office or in the operating room?

I had pretty bad dog ears at each hip after my tummy tuck.  My PS told me to massage the areas with my fingers several times a day with vitamin e lotion and that if the did not go away he would correct them in his office at no cost to me.  The massages worked, both dog ears were completely gone within about 6 weeks after I started massaging them.

Yes that should be done free of charge in the dr's office if it's a revision from a surgery he did. Dog ears are pretty common and can easily be fixed in the office if they don't resolve on their own.
