However, if the patient reschedules their surgical procedure within 30 days of the original surgery date, they understand and agree to be subject to an additional $500 rescheduling fee.

e.Deadline for Payment in Full. A payment equivalent to fifty percent (50%) of the Total Price of the Procedure must be made at least one (1) month prior to the scheduled Procedure Date. Failure to fulfill this payment requirement will result in the cancellation of the Procedure, necessitating the need for rescheduling as outlined in the terms and conditions provided.

f. The Patient acknowledges that in the event of a dispute concerning any charges made by the Patient or the cardholder with a credit card or financing company, where the charges correspond to the accurate amount determined by the Company’s records, the Company retains the right to cancel all Services, revoke all scheduled appointments, and consider any payments made by the Patient as forfeited.

If the Patient’s procedure is scheduled within less than 10 days, the Patient must expedite the results to Goals no less than 3 days prior to the surgery. Any additional testing, clearances, or studies requested by the surgeon must be submitted to the Company by the deadline specified to the Patient, such as the lab’s department. Please note that the due dates are subject to change by the Company. Failure to provide the requested laboratory results, clearances, or studies by the stated deadlines will result in the cancellation of the Patient’s surgery without any refund of the Booking Fee. It is the sole responsibility of the Patient to obtain and cover the costs associated with their medical clearances, laboratory testing, and any other studies, tests, or results requested by the Company and/or the surgeon.
11. Pre-Surgical Requirements; Circumstances Resulting in Cancellation of Surgery; Additional Fees.
a.For surgeries that include a Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty and FlexSculpt® 360, it is mandatory for the Patient to have a Body Mass Index (“BMI”) of 31 or lower on the day of their pre-operative appointment. For surgeries that do not include a Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty, the Patient must have a BMI of 60 or lower on the day of their Surgical procedure.
b.Pregnancy Prior to Surgery. The patient is strictly prohibited from undergoing surgery if they are pregnant. Furthermore, if the Patient receives a diagnosis of pregnancy resulting in a failed pregnancy, miscarriage, or termination within 6 months of the scheduled surgery date, it is necessary to reschedule the surgery within an appropriate time frame. Additionally, the Patient agrees to undergo a pregnancy test administered by the Company on the day of the surgery, prior to the commencement of the procedure. If the pregnancy test yields a positive result, the Patient’s surgery will be immediately canceled. In the event of a cancellation on the day of surgery due to a positive pregnancy test, the Patient will be responsible for a cancellation fee of $500 in addition to the Non-Refundable Booking Fee. However, if the Patient chooses to reschedule the surgical procedure instead of seeking a refund, the Company may consider waiving the cancellation fee and any new Booking Fee as a one-time courtesy. Additionally, the Company may grant the Patient a one-time courtesy 18-month contract extension to allow for rescheduling of the surgical procedure.
c. If a Patient’s hemoglobin level, as indicated by the laboratory results submitted to the Company within the specified timeframe, is below 10.0, the Patient’s surgery will be postponed.

Furthermore, the Patient’s A1C level, as determined by the laboratory results submitted to the Company within the required timeframe, must not exceed 7.4. If the A1C level surpasses this threshold, the Patient’s surgery will be postponed. The Patient may then have the opportunity to reschedule the surgery within the timeframe specified in Section 3 of this Agreement, subject to potential additional fees.
d. Medications for Pre-Existing Conditions. In the event that a Patient has been diagnosed with a pre-existing medical condition that can be regulated or controlled, it is mandatory for the Patient to seek additional treatment from their primary doctor in order to effectively manage the condition. This may involve following a prescribed medication regimen. It is crucial that the condition is properly controlled before scheduling or rescheduling any Services for the Patient.
e. Nicotine Test. The patient agrees to have a nicotine test administered by Goals on the day of surgery prior to the start of the procedure. If the test results are positive, the Patient’s surgery will be immediately canceled, and all payments made to Goals shall be deemed forfeited without any refund to the Patient. At the medical discretion of the physician, exceptions to this baseline requirement may be considered. However, if the Patient decides to reschedule the services, an additional rescheduling fee of $1500.00 will be required, and the previously paid amount to Goals will be applied toward the services.
12. Misrepresentation or Forgery of Medical Information.
If the Patient intentionally provides false or forged medical information or medical records, including but not limited to medical clearances or laboratory results, as determined by Goals, all payments made by the Patient to Goals will be forfeited, and the Patient will be prohibited from receiving any services from Goals.

Goals will notify the designated caretaker when the surgery is completed, and the caretaker must collect the Patient within one hour after the surgery. If the designated caretaker fails to promptly pick up the Patient within the specified one-hour window, Goals reserves the right to call an ambulance or emergency medical services to transport the Patient, and the associated costs will be the sole responsibility of the Patient.
16. Recovery Period After Surgery.

b. Surgical Accessories. Surgical accessories or aesthetic services are non-refundable and non-transferable. This means that once purchased, these items or services cannot be refunded or transferred to another person.
18. Touch-Up Policy
18.1. In General. In general, all plastic surgery treatments and operations aim to improve unsatisfactory areas of the patient’s body with a high probability of success. It is important for the patient to understand that the outcome of the procedure depends on various factors, some of which are beyond the control of the company. It is crucial for the patient to have realistic expectations regarding the potential results based on their body type, medical history, and other factors within their control.
While the company understands that not all patients may achieve their desired results, there are cases where the surgeon, at their sole discretion, may offer a touch-up procedure within one year from the date of the original surgery. The fees and costs associated with the touch-up procedure will apply as specified in the agreement. However, if the surgeon who performed the original surgery is no longer employed by the company at the time of the touch-up procedure, the patient will not be eligible to receive it.
If the patient is not satisfied with the initial results, Goals Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery® ( Doctor & Management) may, at its sole discretion, agree to revise or touch up the patient’s results at a reduced fee of $2000-$3500. This fee covers anesthesia, operating room, nursing fees, ‘before and after’ photographs, and other associated costs. These terms are only limited to minor touch-ups. However, the following conditions must be met
i. It has been at least sixteen (16) weeks (approximately four (4) months) but no more than one (1) year since the Procedure Date.
ii. The patient’s weight has remained the same since the Procedure Date, with no more than a 2% deviation in BMI.
iii. The patient has not been pregnant or given birth since the Procedure Date.
iv. The patient has not smoked or used any tobacco products since the Procedure Date.
v. The patient has followed all the post-operative instructions in the Patient Information Booklet, including:
A. Wearing all required compression garments for the prescribed duration.

D. Following all other post-operative instructions in the Patient Information Booklet.
vi. The touch-up is not a request for additional fat removal/liposuction or fat injections in any area not treated with autologous fat transfer in the original procedure.
vii. The touch-up is specifically for the problem area that was treated in the original procedure.
It’s important to note that revisions may be considered new procedures and are sometimes intended solely to correct minor issues that naturally arise from the initial procedure, such as concave areas or small bulges.
21. No Warranty.
18. Cancellation & Refund Policy; Exceptions.
a.. Goals understands that situations arise that may force patients to postpone Patient Services. Patients must understand that such changes affect the surgeon, operating room staff, Company staff, and other patients. The surgeon’s time, as well as that of the operating room staff, is precious and the Company requests the Patient’s courtesy and concern.
b. Policies. The following are the Company’s cancellation and refund policies, which are subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement:
Cancellation for Medical Necessity: a. Patients may cancel their Procedure(s) if there is an untreatable medical reason that prevents the procedure from taking place. A licensed physician must provide a medical note directing the cancellation and explaining the specific revocation of medical clearance, including the full diagnosis and prognosis. Revocation of medical clearance due to specific medical conditions must be provided by a specialist in the relevant field, and the document must detail why clearance is revoked. In this case, if a compliant document is provided, the full amount paid toward the Total Price will be refunded, except for the Initial Fee. Amounts paid toward Laboratory Fees/Blood Work, Accessories, and Compression Garments will not be refunded. The approval of any refunds is at the sole discretion of Goals.
Any refund requested by the patient shall be subject to the understanding that a FULL refund for the surgical procedure they contracted for shall not be provided. Fees shall be deducted from the funds already paid, including the (Local Anesthesia) $2500 hold fee and the corresponding initial fee, as well as the (General Anesthesia) $3000 fold fee and its corresponding initial fee, ALL OF WHICH SHALL NOT BE REFUNDED TO THE PATIENT.
b. Goals Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery may reschedule the Procedure if the assigned doctor is unable to perform it on the Procedure Date as specified in Section 4 above. If the Patient refuses to have their procedure rescheduled, the Initial Fee and any paid Interim Payment Amount(s) are non-refundable, and the provisions of Subsection 4 below will apply.
c. If the Patient fails to disclose any pre-existing or current health conditions that prevent Goals from proceeding with the surgery or treatment, it will be considered a cancellation by the Patient, in accordance with Subsection 5(e) below.
d. When the Patient reserves a procedure date, Goals rely on the Patient’s presence and do not book other patients for that same date and time. Goals also invest significant time, effort, and resources in preparing for the surgery. Therefore, if the Patient cancels for any reason other than those outlined in Section 4, it will be deemed a cancellation without reason, subject to the terms of Section 5(e) below.
e. If the Patient cancels their Procedure for any reason other than medical necessity, the Patient will forfeit all fees paid toward the Procedure as of the cancellation date, including the Initial Fee, all Interim Amounts, and amounts paid toward Laboratory Fees/Bloodwork, Accessories, and Compression Garments. This forfeiture is intended to compensate Goals for the work done and the lost income resulting from the Patient’s breach of the agreement. The Patient acknowledges that this forfeiture is not a punishment but a form of compensation. Any litigation arising from the Patient’s breach of this agreement shall be dismissed based on the terms herein.
f. Any cancellations must be made by the Patient directly to Goals, and not to any other entities or financing companies. The Patient shall not request a chargeback or refund from any financing agency. Violation of this agreement by seeking a refund from a financing company constitutes a material breach. The Patient understands that a copy of this agreement will be submitted to any financing company in the event of a violation, and any chargeback request shall be denied. Furthermore, if the procedure is performed and the Patient later seeks a chargeback, the Patient agrees to be liable for compensatory damages incurred by Goals in seeking payment, including all legal fees and litigation costs.
Please note that this is a retyped version and may not include all the nuances and legal implications of the original document. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional for specific legal advice and interpretation.
21.3. Exceptions. To follow are the exceptions to the Company’s cancellation and refund policies, as set forth in this Agreement:
- In the event that the Patient fails to meet the necessary requirements to proceed with the surgery and this failure is directly attributed to the recent death (occurred within the past 7 days) of an immediate family member (i.e., mother, father, brother, or sister), the Patient must inform the Company and provide a copy of the Death Certificate. By doing so, the Patient can prevent any forfeiture of funds or the imposition of additional fees for rescheduling or cancellation
- Similarly, if the Patient fails to meet the necessary requirements to proceed with the surgery due to being deployed by any branch of the United States military, the Patient must disclose this information to the Company and provide official and appropriate documentation confirming their deployment. By complying with these requirements, the Patient can avoid any forfeiture of funds or the imposition of additional fees for rescheduling or cancellation.
c. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/AMENDMENTS: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the matters referred to herein. There are no other promises, inducements, representations, warranties, understandings, undertakings, or agreements, oral or written, express or implied, between or among the Parties, except as specifically outlined in this Agreement.
This Agreement may only be altered, amended, canceled, revoked, or modified by a written agreement subscribed to by all Parties affected by such changes.

28. Lateness Policy:
The Patient must arrive at the office on the Procedure Date at least one (1) hour prior to the scheduled time for the Procedure. Failure to arrive on time will result in a late fee of $250.00 for every fifteen (15) minutes of delay, as it disrupts the scheduling for both the Patient and other patients, as well as the surgeons. All late fees must be paid in full, or the procedure will be canceled. Failure to pay the late fees will be treated as a cancellation by the Patient, as stated in Section 5(e) above.
29. State Specific Rules for Liposuction:
30. Loose/Excess Skin
31. Limitation of Liability.
The company is not liable for Patient’s traveling expenses under any circumstances.
