Most Creative Method of Financing Cosmetic Surgery

Michael A. Persky, 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.

Hi Haley,

Many cosmetic surgeons offer financing through credit companies like Care Credit.

The most creative method of financing plastic surgery was used by Frances McDermand in last year's Coen Brothers film, "Burn After Reading". The movie had a great cast including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and John Malkovich. She ended up getting her surgery, but I'd advise sticking with more traditional methods of financing.

Happy and healthy New Year.

Dr. P

There are many companies that finance plastic surgery procedures.  In general, the options are in-house financing, if available in your surgeon's office, or commercial lending institutions.

Discuss the options for financing with your physician's office and confirm that the physician's office uses reputable lenders such CareCredit, Capital One, or Surgery Loans.
