Hi, Many people can still get credit or have credit from before. Also, shop around. Prices vary all over the country. What may cost 10K in one city may cost 5k in another. Quality does not always correlate with price. Just look at some celebrities. Best, Dr.S.

Facelift: Don't make Compromises

The majority of patients currently asking for Facelifts in my practice still pay cash. A small minority use programs like Care Credit. Despite the nature of some infomercials offering quick fixes, the majority of Facelifts will cost in the neighborhood of 10k (give or take a few thousand depending on the area).

Looking better for less

I am offering my own economic stimulus package by reducing my cosmetic surgery rates by up to 40%!! This has helped my patients afford it and has allowed my to continue doing what I love best! This I offer in conjunction with our financing programs, mainly through CosmeticCare which can result in very minimal and affordable payments per month. One can easily apply online.

Payment for cosmetic surgery

Not everyone is rich and can afford plastic surgery. Many people save for a long time to get the procedures they want. Some have good credit and can either use a credit card or financing options like Carecredit. Some people even borrow from relatives. I encourage people not to go into debt for cosmetic surgery.
