Does it cost less if you pay for your breast augmentation in full?

Financing vs paying in full should be something that any financing company (including a doctors office) should supply to you so you know exactly how much you are spending.The thing that can increase the cost of breast augmentation faster than anything is not knowing all of the costs upfront and showing up on the morning of surgery and discovering that you have to pay for anesthesia or something like that.

I dont think so, but on compassionate grounds alot of docs may fudge the cost to make sure patients who are good candidates get their surgery 

Usually, there is a discount as financing adds cost.Find a
plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and
after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

It depends on the PS you see.  In my office it is the same price.  If you are using a financing company, then it is usually cheaper to pay yourself than go through financing.Best,

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

Hello and thank you for the question.  All surgeons can be different in this area. In my office I do not have a discount for payment in full.  The payment for surgery is due in full 2 weeks prior to the surgery.  Best of Luck.
