Is it customary to pay in full prior to Rhinoplasty surgery?

For cosmetic / non insurance covered surgeries, it is standard to have payment before surgery.  My office collects 2 weeks before.  Insurance surgeries are not usually collected up front because no one really knows how much the insurer will pay and how much the patient will be responsible for.  Surgeons are accountable wether they have your money or not. 

Is it customary to receive payment in advance for a rhinoplasty.  Discussions with your surgeon is critical to achieve your goals.
