Looking for a little nip and tuck here or there? Finally ready to take the plunge and have that plastic surgery procedure you’ve been contemplating? In addition to verifying your plastic surgeon’s credentials, knowing the total cost of your procedure should be top priority for creating a payment plan that fits your financial needs.
Whether you finance your procedure through a medical credit card, traditional credit cards or strategically planned savings, you should be aware of several factors that determine your total fee. Plastic surgeons’ fees are typically determined by the location of practice, the number of years in the surgeon has been in practice, and the fees for anesthesia, operating room use and laboratory tests.
