Financing Your Procedure
Flexible Payment Options for Tummy Tuck and Body Contouring Surgery
Austin Tummy Tuck Center offers financing through CareCredit, a healthcare credit card that allows patients to pay for surgery in manageable monthly installments rather than as a single upfront cost. Dr. Snyder provides a specific cost estimate for every patient after a consultation and exam, since the right technique, and therefore the total cost, depends on individual anatomy. Financing is available once that estimate is in hand, so cost does not have to be the deciding factor in moving forward with surgery.
How Cost is Determined
The cost of a tummy tuck, liposuction, or any body contouring procedure at Austin Tummy Tuck Center depends on the specific technique required, whether liposuction or muscle repair is included, the length of the procedure, and the type of anesthesia used. Dr. Snyder does not publish a fixed price list, since an accurate quote can only be given after he has examined a patient and determined which procedure actually fits their anatomy. Patients receive a detailed, itemized estimate following their consultation.
CareCredit
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card accepted at Austin Tummy Tuck Center, allowing patients to finance surgical procedures with predictable monthly payments.
- Six- and twelve-month no-interest payment plans available, subject to approval
- Can be used for the full cost of surgery, including the procedure, facility fees, and anesthesia
- Online application with a quick approval process
- Can also be used for related non-surgical treatments, if applicable to your care plan
CareCredit approval and terms are determined directly by CareCredit, not by Austin Tummy Tuck Center, and specific rates or promotional periods may vary. Patients are encouraged to review current terms directly on CareCredit's website before applying.
What to Expect
Financing decisions are typically made independently of the surgical decision. Dr. Snyder recommends the procedure that fits a patient's anatomy first; the practice's patient coordinators then help patients understand payment options, including CareCredit, once a surgical plan and cost estimate are finalized. Patients are welcome to apply for CareCredit before or after their consultation.
