Where does Dr. Parfitt operate?

Dr. Parfitt performs all surgeries at his Private Plastic Surgery Center in Middleton, WI. The Middleton location, right outside of Madison is located at 2261 Deming Way, Middleton, Wisconsin 53562.

Is plastic surgery right for me?

Surgical procedures are the right solution for some patients. In other situations, a non-surgical treatment could be the answer. Our goal is to provide you with expert advice during your consultation, help correct your areas of concern and achieve a youthful, natural-looking, facial balance. Dr. Parfitt does not perform surgery on every patient, but will tailor a treatment plan to best address your concerns.

To schedule a consultation with Dr. Parfitt, please call our office at 608.831.3991.

Why should I choose Dr. Parfitt’s services?

Beyond Dr. Parfitt’s expert credentials, and caring staff our patients have noted the following as influential in their decision-making and satisfaction.

  • Focus on natural-looking results
  • Beautiful, private facility
  • The volume of before and after photos and testimonials
  • Ease of booking
  • Follow-up care and access to Dr. Parfitt as needed
What if I don’t live near Madison WI?

We are very accustomed to working with patients who travel to us from around the world. Consultations and pre-operative work can be done via phone, email, and internet video calling, thus limiting your travel dates to the day before surgery through your post-operative visits. Helpful contact numbers and information for travel can be found on our patient resources page.  Our private surgical center also features private recovery suites for your most critical post operative days. Local hotel arrangements can then be made through required post-operative visits.

Traveling alone? At your request our staff can assist you in travel to and from the hotel if needed.

Can Dr. Parfitt perform multiple procedures during one surgery?

Yes, most patients often choose to have multiple procedures to achieve their ideal result. Since each facial anatomy is different, Dr. Parfitt tailors treatment plans for each individual patient. He is an expert at determining which procedures are suitable for each individual and will address all options in your initial consultation.

Why don’t other doctors show as many before and after photos as Dr. Parfitt does? Will my photos be used on the Internet?

Your photos will never be used on the internet or in marketing unless you consent in writing for us to do so. Our consent form is above and beyond the standard surgical consent form. Your privacy is our priority and your photos will never be used without your consent.

Of the hundreds of facial surgeries Dr. Parfitt performs every year, a large portion of the patients keep their procedures private, secretly relishing in looking and feeling better about themselves. Other patients are so thrilled with their results, and the care they received, that they wanted to help us educate other prospective patients. Every picture that is displayed is of an actual patient of Dr. Parfitt. The volume of photos is a testament to the quality of Dr. Parfitt’s services.

How far in advance do I need to plan my surgery?

Planning well ahead of your desired surgery date is advised for schedule availability.

It is never too early to consult with Dr. Parfitt. Surgeries can be booked up to 1 year in advance.

Schedule availability varies.  Dr. Parfitt is usually booked out 3-5 weeks for a consultation in the Middleton, WI office and 6-12 weeks in the Appleton, WI office. Virtual consultation options are available if you desire an earlier consultation date.  Dr. Parfitt’s time is in demand and his surgical schedule is typically booked a few months in advance.  Holidays and early or late summer are our busiest times.

If you desire a specific time frame for your surgery, please reach out to our Surgical Coordinator – Angela@facialplastics.com.

How long does it take to heal?

The healing time depends greatly on the procedure(s) performed. All patients are required to follow the post-operative instructions to ensure better healing and to reduce any possible complications. Click here for more information on each procedure.

What is the cost of facial plastic surgery and will my insurance cover it?

The cost of facial cosmetic procedures varies depending on the techniques and the amount of correction needed for each individual procedure. Depending on a patient’s facial anatomy, a variety of factors go into achieving a realistic and excellent result. A surgical quote will be presented during your consultation. If you are interested in a price range for a specific procedure, please email Dr. Parfitt’s Surgical Coordinator, Angela at angela@facialplastics.com

Insurance will not cover surgery that is performed purely for cosmetic reasons. However, procedures that are ‘Medically Necessary’ such as Septoplasty or Blepharoplasty (when there is obstructed vision) may be reimbursable in whole or in part. If you believe that your insurance might cover a procedure, check with your insurance carrier for information on coverage.  Dr. Parfitt would be an ‘out of network’ provider.

Do you offer financing options?

CareCredit®

For purchases of $1,000 or more, we offer financing through CareCredit.com, North America’s leading patient payment program. It works just like a credit card but is exclusive for healthcare services. We offer their extended payment plans up to 60 months as well as their 6 month and 12 month deferred (no interest if paid in full) interest option. This is a nice way to obtain the procedure now but spread out your payments over time. Applying is fast and secure. Click here for more information or to apply with CareCredit.

Is there a consultation fee to meet with Dr. Parfitt?

Surgical consultations are $125 and are due on the day of service. This fee stays on your account as a credit and can be used toward any future surgery.

Consultations for Rhinoplasty involve computer imaging. Due to the length of the consultation, Dr. Parfitt’s consultation fee is due at the time of booking for Rhinoplasty.

I’m not ready to book a consultation, how do I get more information?

Dr. Parfitt’s Surgical Coordinator, Angela, can provide a wealth of information on procedures, recovery time, price range, financing options, etc.. Simply use our Contact Us form to send her your questions or concerns. You can even schedule complimentary consultation time with her to meet in person and see the facility. This is a great way to get all your preliminary questions out of the way before meeting with Dr. Parfitt to obtain his recommendations.

What can I do to achieve the best results?

The combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures performed at Parfitt Facial Cosmetic  Surgery Center and AestheticA Skin Health Center will improve the overall appearance with a refreshed, younger look, but also the skin texture and longevity is very important and can be enhanced with nonsurgical treatments and skin care.
