The Role of Financing in Your Plastic Surgery Journey

The Role of Financing in Your Plastic Surgery Journey

With Dr. Ross Bunch – Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa

When patients come to see me, one of the most common questions is not just “What procedure is right for me?” but also “How will I pay for it?” Choosing to invest in plastic surgery is a very personal decision. One that can have a profound impact on your confidence and quality of life. I want to make sure that financial considerations don’t stand in the way of you reaching your goals.

At Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa, we proudly offer flexible financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon Credit. Each option gives you the ability to move forward with your procedure while making manageable monthly payments. Let’s take a closer look at each program and how to plan for your surgery with confidence.

Why Financing Matters in Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is an investment in yourself. While many patients choose to pay upfront, financing opens the door for those who prefer to spread the cost over time. With financing, you can:  

• Begin your transformation sooner rather than later.  
• Manage payments in predictable monthly installments.  
• Choose the plan that best aligns with your budget and timeline.

Cherry Financing

Cherry is one of the most flexible financing options available and has become a favorite among many of my patients.

• Benefits: Quick approval process, customizable payment plans, and no hard credit checks for initial application.

CareCredit Financing

• 6 Months: No interest if paid in full within the promotional period.

Alphaeon Credit

Alphaeon Credit offers another great option for patients who want extended terms with predictable payments. 

• 6 Months: Deferred interest with monthly payments required. 
• 24 Months: Low APR (14.99%) with equal monthly payments. 
• 36 Months: Low APR (15.99%) with equal monthly payments. 
• How to Apply: Alphaeon Application Link.

Important Disclaimers & Planning Ahead

While financing makes surgery more accessible, it’s important to understand the details: 

• Processing Fee: A 3% processing fee applies to all financing payments. 
• Required Documentation: To process your payment, we require a copy of the front and back of your financing card, along with your driver’s license. 
• Interest Terms: Each financing option comes with its own terms regarding interest rates, deferred interest, or reduced APR. Be sure to review these carefully.

Planning ahead for your surgery is not just about choosing the right procedure. It’s about choosing the right financial plan. Take the time to explore each option, and don’t hesitate to reach out to my team if you have questions.
