The number 1 reason people hesitate to have cosmetic surgery, that is surgery for appearance and not covered by health insurance (like breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, etc) is cost. That is why so many of our patients finance the cost of their surgery.

We deal with a few finance companies...care credit, surgery loans, etc. We have links on our website and you can apply on-line or over the phone quickly. If you have good credit, it works out to be about $125/month on about a $5000 loan. Various options allow you to pay interest-free. Lots of time the first contact we have with a patient is thru the finance company.

The #2 reason that keeps people from cosmetic surgery is fear of pain. You will definitely have some 'discomfort', but this can be controlled with pain medications by mouth. We also are the largest private user of on-q pain pumps in town...this device pumps pain medicine/local anesthesia like novocaine into the area of surgery...breasts, tummy, wherever...for three days after surgery. It works great!
