Bitcoin Can Now Pay Plastic Surgery in Full
Starting January, Vanity Cosmetic Surgery in Miami accepts Bitcoin from all patients to cover up to 100% of their service cost.
Back in November of 2013, Vanity Cosmetic Surgery, the biggest plastic and cosmetic surgery center in Florida, made a big splash with its announcement of the new addition of Bitcoin as an official payment method for their surgeries, becoming the first plastic surgery center in the world to officially accept this new cryptocurrency; at that point they decided to accept Bitcoin from new patients up to 20% of the total cost of their services and up to 100% for returning patients.
Two months have passed after this ground breaking move and the results have been extraordinary, many people have inquired about this new addition and lots of them have already used this currency, that is the reason they have decided to take away all restrictions to accept Bitcoin without limitation for new or returning patients, and this way promote the use of the cryptocurrency in their practice.
What does this mean?
“With this change it will be easier for people to pay with Bitcoin in our centers” said Carlos Yela, advertising and PR manager,
“We want to give our patients all the convenience possible to access our services”; with the elimination of payment restrictions people will be able to pay with Bitcoin in full for any plastic surgery or any other service in their centers like Breast Implants, Rhinoplasty or Nose Jobs, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Botox or even a Face Lift that offers to make older people look 20 years younger.
Why is Bitcoin important?
Carlos Yela,
“it’s about globalization, with the internet people now have access to options they didn’t have before and Bitcoin helps reduce financial barriers they could encounter in the way”.
This options includes a wider variety of services that a center like Vanity offers as well as big savings, not only in currency exchange fees but also in actual procedure costs, according to RealSelf.com, a plastic surgery referral service, the national average cost of cosmetic procedures are 200% to 400% higher than Vanity’s, surgeries like a Tummy Tuck has a national average cost of $7,875 when Vanity’s prices start at $1,999 for this reconstructive surgery, this big difference also applies for procedures like Breast Augmentation, Brazilian Butt Lift, Rhinoplasty and many others, to learn more about their costs Vanity published a dynamic price list in five different currencies at http://vanitymiami.com/prices/
Vanity’s Approach to foreign patients
It’s clear, they go the extra mile to be appealing to patients outside their local market, that’s why together with the implementation of Bitcoin, Vanity started promoting a unique recovery program called “Home Away Vanity”, this service includes a 7 days accommodation and all the necessary transportation, medicines and in-house care from registered nurses in a luxury home with all the amenities a high end hotel can offer. This approach has been in part the reason for their great success attracting foreign patients.
