Stephen A. Goldstein, 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.

You are not alone wanting plastic surgery but having to take the next step to somehow afford the procedure(s). With the economy taking a downturn, we are seeing more of our patients financing.

CapitalOne and Care Credit represent two of the most frequently used finance companies and they have been reputable over the years. On a less frequent basis, we have seen a few of our patients using their personal credit cards, but PLEASE be aware of the terms of the loan, interest rates, etc.

Do not bite off more than you can chew! Take a good look at your budget and be practical. There are times where I advise my patients to split the procedures up and do the most important one first. And, there are times where it is best to wait until you are financially on more solid ground. Be prudent and be sensible.
