How To Finance Your Cosmetic Surgery Procedure?
Plastic surgery/Cosmetic Surgery is an area that continues to go strong despite (or because of) the pandemic. While the recovery has become less of a concern now, with people having a considerable time to spend in the comforts of their home, the cost for the procedures may not be very easy to cover.
Figures revealed by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons show that a jaw-dropping $9.3 billion have been spent by Americans in 2020 on all aesthetic procedures. Surgical procedures alone hold a share that revolves around an incredible $6.3 billion, and non - surgical procedures account for about $3.1 billion.
If you were to break the amount to individual procedures also, they come to pretty steep figures. For instance, procedures such as a rhinoplasty or a nose job or breast augmentation alone can cost a customer an average of $5,000, as per reports by the society.
Typically, your insurance will not cover the costs of surgical or non-surgical procedures, and hence all expenses are expected to be borne by you.
Here it is also noteworthy that there are two broad categories of plastic surgery demarcated by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons - reconstructive procedures and cosmetic procedures.
While reconstructive surgery involves restoring function and normal appearance or even rectifying deformities, Cosmetic procedures imply reshaping and adjusting an individual's normal anatomy. These are not considered medically necessary. Hence although your health insurance may cover reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery in all likelihood will not.
