Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Due to the high rate of patients being badly behind on credit payments, surgeons are reluctant to fund these financing options. There are many companies available for credit. Many surgeons will make these available to you at the time of the consultation or may even have it listed on their websites under financing.

Thank you for the question.In our practice, we use Care Credit as well as other companies; they have been used by our patients with no problems.  They do have different rates so please make sure you get all of the information you need prior to signing up with any financing company.Generally speaking, it is always in patients' best interests to achieve a certain degree of financial stability prior to undergoing elective surgery of any type. Patients should also keep in mind that additional surgery may be necessary in the short or long term, following the primary procedure that is being performed;  this additional surgery may be associated  out-of-pocket expenses. Again, best to achieve a physical, emotional, psychosocial, and financial “stable state” prior to considering elective plastic surgery. Best wish

I suggest waiting and saving up.  Plan on saving more than the cost of the surgery.  Aways plan for possible complications.

Pamela B. Rosen, MD · Answer

If financing is not an option you could discuss with your surgeon a "lay away plan".  Our office has done this once or twice in past years.  You pay the doctor's office a monthly sum, and when you have prepaid the fees fully, your surgical procedure will be performed.  It gives you an incentive to save the money and removes the temptation to use the funds for other purposes.
