How to afford Rhinoplasty. What do you recommend to patients that can't pay in full upfront for their surgery?

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.

There are several ways to pay for cosmetic surgery. Although some surgeons require full payment up front, some are willing to do a payment plan. There are financing programs such as Care Credit that will finance your surgery in full if you qualify. Check with your rhinoplasty surgeon to see what options they are willing to provide. Hope this helps and best of luck.
