Do one procedure at a time rather than going into debt

George J. Beraka, MD answers: Financing plastic surgery: monthly payments?

Can I pay for breast implant, lip enhancement, and rhinoplasty surgeries on a monthly basis instead of paying for them all at the same time? I'm wondering because I am very intrested in those 3 cosmetic surgeries and I am planning on getting them soon. I just want more information on it.

To HaleyJones,

Hi.  Care Credit is a good company, but listen to the good advice of Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Williams.  Only borrow what you are VERY comfortable paying off.

Haley,

There are financing options available in many plastic surgery practices.  I offer financing through CareCredit in my practice, as well as, a monthly up front payment plan.  Call around to your local board certified plastic surgeons for availability.  Good luck!

Haley,

There are many financing options for plastic surgery available. However, please make sure that you can afford the surgery/payments. Just because someone will give you credit, you should still make sure that it is reasonable for your budget. I often tell patients to make sure that they have funds available for twice the cost of the surgery. This makes sure that you will not run into problems if you end up being off work longer than expected or have some other expense that you were not planning on. Plastic surgery should be an enjoyable process for you. Financing just helps make the process easier. Good luck with your surgery.

Every surgeon's office is a bit different.  Many surgeons can offer finance programs so that you can work out a payment plan to pay for your surgery.
