Renew Your Look    And Your Spirit

When commissioning an artist to paint a portrait, you consider the value of the final product, not the cost of the material. How much more value does your living portrait hold for you? When you work with a cosmetic surgeon who has advanced medical training as well as the artistic talent to enable you to reach your aesthetic goals, that’s an invaluable combination.

There are several options when it comes to covering the cost of your cosmetic procedure, whether it’s surgical or non-surgical.

Insurance

Most insurance carriers do not cover plastic surgery for cosmetic procedures, but if there is a medical reason for your plastic surgery, they may well cover at least part of the cost. It does not hurt to enquire about coverage. Reconstructive and functional surgery may be covered by health or accident insurance. If your policy does cover your procedure, it is imperative that you follow the guidelines of your carrier for getting a referral and pre-authorization from a primary care physician as necessary.

Credit Cards

Many people elect to pay for their procedure using a credit card, often one which gives “rewards” such a free miles on an airline. This method also gives you the option to pay online, a benefit many people enjoy .

Financing

Should you need assistance with financing your cosmetic procedure, there are two ways of approaching it:

  • Use a third-party finance company – there are several who offer zero-interest loans, no down payment, and extended time periods. Examples are CareCredit and CapitalOne.
  • Work out a payment plan with your cosmetic surgeon

Most people who consider having cosmetic surgery also give thought to how best to cover the cost. It’s not something to rush into lightly. The careful thought starts with choosing your cosmetic surgeon, and extends through deciding what exact procedures to have, in what order, and when. You might be asking for time off work, or help with home and family concerns. Deciding on financing is part of this whole thoughtful planning. When the goal and outcome are exciting and worth pursuing, it’s worth taking time to plan each step of the process carefully.
