Do You Have to Pay Up Front for Tummy Tuck?

Hi Tiffani,
Before any cosmetic procedure, your surgeon will almost certainly require payment up front. In addition, the surgical facility and anesthesia providers will also likely require payment ahead of time. Most plastic surgeons do participate with third-party financing companies, such as Care Credit, so you can effectively get a loan for the procedure and pay it back over several months.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Costs for a tummy tuck
surgery payent upfront is usually required for all cosmetic surgery

The cost will depend upon the type of tummy
tuck anesthesia skill find an experience of the surgeon. There’ll be regional
differences. Approximate costs can be found on real self, and other websites
such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Payment plans can be offered through Care
Credit, local banks, credit cards, and other companies such as Prosper. Some plans have 12-18 months interest free.

Most plastic surgeons do require full payment before the operation. We require half down to reserve a space for surgery and the remainder is due no later than your pre-operative visit which is usually about a week to a week and a half before your surgery. However, there are financing options in most facilities these days. We offer finance companies that try and offer financing to patients with less than perfect credit as well as incentives to patients with excellent credit. If you have excellent credit you can apply for a 12 month interest free loan.

Every plastic surgeon has a different way they go about the business aspects, but most if not all would ask for the payment up front, usually at the preoperative appointment.
This usually includes the cost for the surgery center, anesthesia and implants and garments.
Good luck.

The payment schedule for this cosmetic procedure should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. In general, payment for cosmetic procedures is made prior to surgery as the cost of anesthesia and surgery center are high.

Most of the time, payment up front is necessary for cosmetic surgery.  Financing is available in most physicians' offices, so check around and see what rates you can get.  Good luck!
