Preparing Financially For Cosmetic Surgery
Despite your best efforts, your shopping process may not produce a clear choice.
Don't force a decision if you're not sure.
Sometimes the best next step is to start over.
Taking time for a second look may help you clarify concerns that prevent us from making a choice.
If you can't make up our mind, go back to our list, call our top choice or choices and ask for a second consult.
Most surgeons don't charge for these visits, which are often extremely valuable and may help us to clarify important issues.
Sometimes shoppers decide not to buy.
If our second consults don't help, give yourself permission to delay your decision or to decide that a simple "no" is your answer.
Saying no must be a viable option.
Ultimately, our final choice involves both mental and emotional factors.
Analyze the results of your shopping experience and trust your intuition about the quality of the people you choose.
Then make our decision and move forward confidently.
Cosmetic surgery, like many other discretionary purchases, is expensive.
There's just no other way to put it.
In fact, after you hear how much it costs, you may begin to wonder if it's worth it and if you really should be doing it.
If you don't like the cost, however, you can always just say no.
You don't have to have cosmetic surgery, and you really don't need to have cosmetic surgery.
But you may want it, and if so, plan our finances carefully so that you make our decision based on not only on our finances but also on the truly important issues, such as the surgeon's training and board certification, the facility, and the anesthesia provider.
You must pay for our cosmetic surgery in advance - generally about two weeks before surgery.
You can't expect any surgeon to waive this requirement, so you'll have to make a plan for paying what's due.
It's just like paying for a cruise or an airline ticket or even some resort hotel rooms, you're expected to pay in advance.
I understand that if you're thinking seriously about having cosmetic surgery, you're probably not very happy with what it costs.
I'm somewhat shocked myself, and I deal with the costs daily in my own practice.
One way to think about the costs is to spread them over the life of our result; for instance, if you're already getting facial fillers such as collagen or Botox, then having a face lift may actually save you money in the long run.
You may also choose to postpone or waive a vacation, a newer car, a home redecorating or remodeling project, and so on in order to accommodate the costs of surgery.
