Is it cheaper if you pay for your BA in full as opposed to a payment plan?
Each plastic surgeon's office has their own policies and promotions, but some practices will offer a cash discount due to financing fees. Financing through Care Credit is an option in a lot of practices. Some offices offer anywhere from 6-12 months interest free.
There are associated costs with financing that get passed on to someone in the process in every case. Many offices offer a discount for paying all at once or another for cash which avoids the sometimes expensive costs to the office that come with running a credit card. That is an easy question to ask of your plastic surgeon but should not be the reason you choose a particular surgeon, in my opinion. The act of surgery requires a great deal of trust, both for you to trust your surgeon to care for you and for your surgeon to trust that you will care for yourself. There is no cost that can be applied to that trust and I would encourage you to consider finding someone with whom you feel a trusting relationship. If it's not there, no money saved is worth it.Best,Dr. Pyle
