Loans for cosmetic surgery

It is not uncommon to receive this type of email inquiry:
Hi,
With regards to costs.. Is there any payment plans available?

My answer is usually along the line:

Thank you for your inquiry.

Whilst I do accept responsibility for financial fees I and my staff do not act as bankers of financiers. My qualifications are in plastic and particularly cosmetic surgery.

As a general rule it is preferable that a patient can fund the procedure by saving etc… Then they will fully enjoy the benefits of the change without stressing over finances.

However at the “Jewel clinic” we also recognise that many people wish to receive the benefit of change ASAP and they will choose a financial plan as an option .

There are organisations that can assist with special cosmetic surgery loans but the interest rate is higher than many other type of loans or overdraft.

In the circumstances that you do wish to take out a loan. (for a breast enlargement rhinoplasty etc.)

Your first inquiry should be with your bank after that:

You may try Mediplan or another commercial loan company

Importantly please remember that by far the most important decision is to choose wisely who you are entrusting to change as your future happiness is in their hands and skill. My strong advice is to work through all the issue with a trusted advisor who has the qualifications and a caring attitude. During the process costs will be covered openly and fairly. Importantly the costs estimate will be personalised for your total care.

I hope this advice assist your decision and I look forward to meeting with you soon.
