Finance Options for Liposuction Prices
Monday, August 31st, 2009Plastic surgery, or any surgery, is not cheap. Liposuction prices range from $1,000 up to $35,000 which is more than most people can afford up front. Of course it depends on a variety of factors such as the surgeon fee, the area to be treated and the type of treatment but even minimal facial liposuction will cost thousands. But as with almost any large purchase, there will be someone out there willing to make the loan and offer financing so long as the client is able to show some credit history. If you choose to finance, don’t forget to add in the cost of financing to the total liposuction price.
What some patients will be surprised to learn is that it is not uncommon for most clinics to carry the financing in house. Most places will be happy to extend a line of credit to any potential patient with sufficiently qualifying credit history. Usually however, the rates offered by clinics are some of the worst around. Just as you would shop for a quality surgeon, shop around for better financing rates.
If you ask, most surgeons have working relationships with their community financing companies and will refer patients who want financing from external sources. These financing companies are used to receiving patients from local surgeons and will work with you to develop a payment plan to fit almost any budget.
If smaller companies are hard to find or hard to trust, as is the case for some people, Health Care Finance is a subsidiary of Capital One that specializes in financing medical procedures that are not usually covered by health insurance.
There are companies that specialize in financing cosmetic enhancement costs that are not covered by health insurance plans.
Credit Care is one such company that can cover liposuction bills up to as much as $25,000. Talk to a representative and they will create a customizable payment plan that works with your paycheck and monthly budget.
Remember that while it is not usually a good idea to go into debt to begin with, liposuction surgery as well as how to pay for it is a personal decision only you can make for yourself. In such case, do not shop for a surgeon based on price alone. Liposuction is an art and the outcome of such a procedure depends largely on the skills and experience of the surgeon. The final liposuction price includes both the risks and financial cost.
