[Star Trek: DS9 - Profit and Lace] How did the Ferengi convince Dr. Bashir to perform the operation?

As part of the plot, Quark needs to be altered to look like a female Ferengi to have a meeting.

There's a quick comment about how "Bashir did a good job."

How did they get Bashir, the medical officer for the station, to perform such a radical operation on a whim?

It's not that radical of an operation.  This kind of cosmetic surgery is routine and perfectly safe given the level of Federation medical science.  
They didn't have to convince him, they just had to make an appointment.
