Breast Augmentation: Can I Afford It?

blog-post

Breast implants are not usually covered by your insurance plan.

 

Can you afford breast augmentation? You probably can, but you must be honest and open with yourself about the financial commitment that breast implants will require. With some good planning and the help of a professional cosmetic surgery financing specialist, it may even be easier than you think to fit breast implants into your budget.

 

If you’ve been thinking about breast augmentation and wondering whether or not you can afford it, this information might help you to decide.

How to Pay for Breast Augmentation

Paying up front for the procedure is the best option. If you don’t have the money, try to save up the money over a period of time. You might want to open a new savings account and have a portion of your wages from every paycheck directly deposited into the account. Another great way to save is to give up your vacation for a year or two. Put that money into your savings account for the procedure and don’t touch it. Over time you will have the money you need to pay for your breast augmentation.

 

Another way to pay for your breast augmentation is to put it on your credit card and pay down the balance over time. This will allow you to have the surgery now instead of waiting to save the money. But remember that credit cards can have very high-interest rates, so you could accumulate a lot of interest over time. Try to pay the balance off as quickly as possible and make timely payments so that you don’t damage your credit rating.

 

Another payment option is to take advantage of your plastic surgery center’s financing options. There are a number of payment plans designed for plastic surgery. This is a very popular way to go because the interest will cost you less than you would be paying on a credit card. Plus, you can arrange for monthly payments that will work for your budget.

 

When Will I Have to Pay?

All plastic surgery practices are different, but be prepared to pay at least a portion of your fees in advance. Any consultation fees or deposits should be applied toward the quote that you’ve agreed upon.

 

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?

The price of breast augmentation varies, depending on where you live, what plastic surgeon you use, and what is involved in creating the look that you want. For instance, you would pay more for a lift with implants than you would for breast augmentation alone. Costs may include anesthesia fees, surgical facility costs, medical tests and surgeon’s fees. Your plastic surgeon should provide you with a detailed quote before you commit to surgery.
