MAXIMIZING YOUR COSMETIC CONSULTATION

As you may be aware, cosmetic surgeons usually charge a fee for their cosmetic consultation appointments. This is reasonable because the plastic surgeon is providing a service to the prospective patient in the form of reliable, researched information, an exam of the area where cosmetic surgery is desired, and as much time as needed to answer all the patient’s questions and concerns. The best way to get the most from the appointment is to research the cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in which you are interested—breast augmentation, facelift, eyelift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and have all your questions ready for the doctor. A good source is the American Society of Plastic Surgery’s website which offers a wealth of information on all cosmetic procedures for the public to access.

It is also important that you discuss your full medical history with the doctor and speak candidly regarding what result you would like to achieve. Sometimes patients have unrealistic expectations and a good plastic surgeon will bring that to the patient’s attention to avoid the possibility of disappointment.

Here at Dr. Stephen Delia’s practice, our goal ultimately is to have a patient conclude their consultation appointment feeling confident, more knowledgable, and fully satisfied with the information provided.

PLASTIC SURGERY FINANCING

Have you been thinking for some time about having a cosmetic surgical procedure—perhaps a breast augmentation, a tummy tuck or a facelift—and the only thing holding you back is how to pay for the procedure? Our office realizes that these procedures are costly–some more so than others–and financing is often the best option for the patient. For this reason, Dr. Delia makes available to prospective patients the option of financing their procedure(s)thru Care Credit.

Care Credit is a financing company that is geared toward an individual’s health and beauty needs. One applies via phone or online for a line of credit to cover the procedure in question, and once the account is established, the patient receives a card similar to a credit card and uses this to pay for their surgery. The patient is then billed a low minimum monthly payment and, depending upon the surgery performed, payments can oftentimes be extended for up to 60 months. This is a win-win situation in that patients do not have to wait for the procedure to be done and can pay it off gradually to lessen the impact on their finances. In addition, there are no enrollment fees and there is no penalty for prepayment.
