Does paying all cash mean a cheaper option vs using the financial planning?

Great question.  This is actually something that needs to be directed to the office of your plastic surgeon. Every office is different and offers different discounts and payment options.  Sometimes it can be cheaper to pay with cash, but again, you would have to check with your doctor office to find out for sure..If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation you can download a free copy of my breast augmentation planner at ABetterBreast.com.

Hello,Each practice has their own financial policies. Many Plastic Surgeons work with third party financing companies or have their own payment plans. You must speak with your chosen Plastic Surgeon about their options for you.All the best

Thank you for your excellent question.  Some practices may offer you an all-cash discount, but this would be practice specific and not industry-wide.  If they do not, paying cash and using financing would be equivalent assuming you pay off the financing prior to any interest being applied.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for the great question.  Every office has a different policy but in general if the surgery is financed then you have interest that ocrues and will make the total cost of the procedure higher at the end.  If the you can pay all up front without financing then the you will save money based on the financing program.  Best of luck. 

The lower price with cash may be the difference in the fee your surgeon would have had to pay Visa or MasterCard.  If someone is taking a lot less money, then they are potentially not claiming the income against their income tax.  That is a crime and not something too many surgeons participate in.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic SurgeonAssistant Clinical Professor &Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training,McMaster UniversityStriving to be the top ranked and best plastic surgeon serving Oakville, Georgetown, Burlington, Milton, Hamilton, Toronto and the GTA.
