4 Minute Read:
So many men and women use finances and money constraints as an excuse for not achieving the physical appearance they desire with cosmetic surgery.
At first, this makes sense — most procedures are not covered by insurance, and not everyone has a few thousand dollars just sitting there, untouched and ready to be spent.
However, the truth is that nothing should get in the way of you looking and feeling as good as possible. While many people have the misconception that plastic surgery is only for rich celebrities, this can’t be further from reality.
While the cost of some cosmetic surgery procedures can seem high (or even too high), you need to understand two things.
- The first is that you are not spending that money on something that you will not use; instead, you are using that money to better yourself, physically as well as psychologically and even emotionally. Isn’t it time you did something good for yourself?
- The second thing you need to understand about the cost of plastic surgery is that there are financing options available to help you pay for your procedure over time and without hassle.
Below, you’ll find information to help you better understand how financing your cosmetic procedure works, so you can stop using “money” as a way to put off looking and feeling the way you’ve always desired.
What Does Financing Mean?
The concept of financing has been around for as long as money has existed. Essentially, financing means receiving a loan and repaying that loan over a period of time. This means that you can have your cosmetic procedure now but pay it off in small increments over time (months or even years).
This is important because there are few people who can simply pay cash for their plastic surgery procedure.
Financing your cosmetic surgery is the same concept as taking out a loan to buy a car or a mortgage to buy a house, but the best part is that some of the financing options for cosmetic procedures are often more affordable than other types of loans.
What Are My Financing Options?
One option that some patients choose when financing their plastic surgery is a standard credit card. While your regular credit card is great and offers you the chance to pay later for your plastic surgery procedure today, the biggest issue with this type of financing is that you are charged interest, and sometimes this interest can be very costly to you.
Luckily, there is another option.
Dr. Bridges is proud to offer CareCredit® to his patients. CareCredit® is one of the most trusted names in financing for cosmetic procedures. Essentially, CareCredit® is a specially designed credit card that is used on health, beauty, and wellness needs.
Patients are able to get a line of credit from CareCredit® that is interest-free for six to 18 months as you repay the borrowed amount.
With Care Credit®, you can relax and enjoy the cosmetic improvements you’ve always dreamed of, knowing that you aren’t spending anything extra.
Which Cosmetic Procedures Can I Finance?
Any and all cosmetic procedures can be financed through CareCredit®, or your personal credit card company. However, some of the procedures that many patients choose to finance include:
- Breast augmentation surgery: enhances the size and improves the shape and symmetry of the breasts with the aid of breast implants
- Facelift surgery: corrects age- and lifestyle-related issues on the face, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines to give you a smooth and more youthful appearance
- Mommy Makeover surgery: a combination procedure that helps women improve the appearance of their bodies after pregnancy and childbirth, focusing on the breasts and midsection
- Liposuction surgery: removes unwanted stubborn fat in the body
These are just a few of the many cosmetic procedures available to you in Shreveport, Louisiana. But the truth is that Dr. Bridges can help you achieve all of your cosmetic goals, and CareCredit® can help cover the finances needed so that you can smile and feel proud about the way you look.
