How much do procedures at Southern Surgical Arts cost?
At Southern Surgical Arts, we pride our practice on being transparent to patients and those looking to work with us. When attempting to research cosmetic procedures, you may come across some practices whose prices seem too good to be true. Many of these places advertise only their surgeons’ fees. This tactic is used to make it seem as though they offer significantly lower prices than their competitors.
We offer price estimates for each of our surgical and non-surgical procedures. Each of our quoted prices include the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, the facility fee, supplies, materials, and any follow-up visits for your selected procedure. While the estimates listed on our website are all-inclusive, the only way to guarantee any cost is to attend a complimentary, comprehensive consultation with one of our doctors. Any increase in costs will be explained to you in a manner that can be easily understood.
Our surgeons are not in the business of selling; they are well-skilled medical professionals who strive to assist you in obtaining and maintaining your aesthetic goals. By keeping their patients as their “why,” our doctors are sure to provide the utmost service and care to those interested in working with Southern Surgical Arts.
Does Southern Surgical Arts offer payment plans?

They may be able to offer you terms and repayment plans that work best for you. Choosing one of our financing partners can help you achieve the aesthetic you deserve in a way you can afford.

United Medical Credit assists in securing healthcare loans for patients, including those with less than stellar credit profiles. Once a patient is approved and agrees to appropriate terms, United Medical Credit’s lending partners will either disperse funds directly to the medical provider or to the patient, who will then be responsible for paying the physician.
