The best and most economical way is to pay in cash if you can do that. This will save you additional cost of processing fee that you'll incur if you use credit card ( about 2-3 % ). Cashier check is another option and the bank will charge you about $10 for it . Personal checks are acceptable too in my office since we have check verification machine that assures that the patient has the funds in his or her's bank account and a hold is being placed on them. . Another popular option is financing by companies that finance plastic surgeries and as long as you have good credit, this only entails additional cost as a small percentage of the cost of surgery. If your credit is not good, there are companies that will finance your surgery at a very high percentage of the cost of surgery and I usually discourage my patients from using them. It is better save money for a later date of surgery if you can not have the money readyly. Remember one thing, the original cost of surgery, might not be the only cost if you need corrective surgery because of bad outcome. So, do your due diligence and choose wisely. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Check also the ' realself' reviews for positive patients experience which provides important information on the surgeons.
Best of luck,

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 wishes.
