Selecting Your Plastic Surgeon

It is important to note that Plastic Surgeons do not all have the same credentials and this factor may play a role in the outcome of your plastic surgery procedure. There are over 100 self-designated medical boards in the field of plastic surgery, but only the American Board of Plastic Surgery is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.  The facility in which your plastic surgeon performs cosmetic treatments may also play a role in the outcome of your procedure. It is wise to ensure that your procedure will be performed in a fully accredited facility.  We want you to learn more about Selecting Your Plastic Surgeon.

Plastic Surgery Medical Necessity Treatment

Plastic surgery procedures are often cash pay procedures, meaning that insurance does not cover the costs of plastic surgery treatment.  However, there are instances in which medical insurance companies will pay for all or a portion of your plastic surgery treatment when the procedure is deemed a medical necessity. These cases often relate to reconstructive plastic surgery procedures, such as, breast reconstruction following cancer treatment, breast reduction when your breasts contribute to medical conditions,  the body lift procedures and in some cases, liposuction if the procedure will improve mobility, such as, for an overweight individual with limited mobility due to excess weight on the knees.

For all core plastic surgery procedures, patient financing offers a viable option for many.  In some cases, the interest rates offered by patient finance companies are better than your credit cards. You can discuss patient financing options with your plastic surgeon during your consultation. In many cases, there is no charge for an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon.
