Needing a career change, divorcing a spouse, looking older
than you feel: These are just a few of the primary reasons
men and women opt for plastic surgery. Yet sometimes, the
old bank account is not luxurious enough to cover the cost
of getting a new look. No worries though. We live in an
expanding and creative world that allows almost anyone with
an imagination and desperate drive access to cosmetic
enhancements once only reserved for the McMansion buyers.
1. Be a guinea pig:
Plastic surgeons have to test their skills on someone, why
not let that person be you. Medical schools often offer
substantially reduced prices for otherwise costly medical
treatments varying from dental implants to nose
realignments. While working with an inexperienced surgeon
may scare you, fear not because medical school operations
are typically monitored by physicians with world-class
experience and may even coach your practicing doctor to
give you a face lift any Hollywood socialite would envy.
You can find local medical schools offering plastic surgery
by looking at the web-pages of nearby universities.
2. Get friendly with the newly arrived doctors
When a doctor sets up a new practice, unless she's buying
clients from a retiring physician, she needs to go out and
round up some paying customers. To get these new clients,
doctors may be willing to give you a discount. You can find
incoming physicians by checking out your local news reader
or Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, you can offer to let
your doctor use your before and after surgery photos in
exchange for a price cut.
3. Get surgery done in groups
What does a plastic surgeon like more than one paying
client- three paying clients. With that, do you have a
friend, relative or co-worker that might desire a little
plastic surgery? Perhaps you can arrange to have your
surgeries done on the same day. You may be able to share
the hospital room and recovery suite.
Although, this arrangement may not work for more
complicated surgeries, coordinating multiple surgeries will
save your physician time and money and he should be willing
to pass a bit of the savings along to you. Anyway,
negotiating a price for plastic surgery for three or more
people as opposed to just one, should give you
price-reducing leverage.
If your surgeon dismisses the operating room orgy, shoot
for a discount on routine aesthetic treatments like laser
resurfacing, dermal fillers or Botox injections. Whatever
the cosmetic prick you and your comrades seek, always ask
for a group discount.
4. Use cash
Who doesn't love green. While we live in a world of buy
today pay tomorrow, cash still has its
advantages-especially in doctors' offices. To avoid extra
paperwork and prickly fees that snort up profits, more
physicians offer cash payment discounts. Ask your plastic
surgeon if a cash payment will slash some fat off your
medical bill.
5. Leave the country
If the doctor's office down the street is too high, go to
the office across the ocean. Brazil, India, Mexico, the
Philippines and several other countries provide excellent
medical services that don't leave the patient bankrupt. If
you have foreign consulate offices in your town, call an
office or arrange for a meeting with a representative and
discuss your desire to have plastic surgery abroad. The
consulate representative should be able to inform you about
the medical standards, pricing, licensing requirements and
governing boards for physicians in the foreign nation.
Alternately, you can contact the national tourism office of
the country where your are considering traveling to for
surgery. This office should provide you with details about
visa requirements and information about the medical
structure of the country you plan to visit.
In short, before you let anyone get fancy with a knife
using your body as a cutting board, do your research and
verify everything you are told with a second source. This
way, you can save money and save yourself from
conspicuously sloppy plastic surgery.
