How are people paying for plastics?

Hi everyone I just had my consultation with my plastic surgeon and she quoted me 17,500 for a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants. I am putting 8,000 down but how are people paying for this anyone financing? And how would love to know! Thankyou

Yes lots of ppl use CARE CREDIT.

i put money aside in savings and then went to mexico... i really couldn't afford the 40-50K I needed for all the procedures in the USA

I'm getting a lower body lift and abdominoplasty on 1/9. It's costing $17K. I've been able to save up 7, and will dip into savings for the rest. Initially I am putting the cost on credit cards (they tell me this is commonly done) for ease of transaction, and for the travel miles!

What dt as te are you doing this in?

What state are you doing this in? ?

Pennsylvania

Yes agreed with the previous post sme Insurances cover plastics esp after Bariatrics...

Get several drs opinions on plastic usually consults are free & it also depends on how its worded from dr to insurance company

I was a self pay, I found a terrific surgeon in Mexico that was about a 1/4 of the cost I was quoted in the states...I am very happy, it was super easy flew to San Diego and was picked up at the airport and taken across the boarder stayed a week and flew home...

I was super blessed and my insurance paid for my lower body lift. They never pay and I was shocked when I got approved because even my surgeon said he couldn't remember the last one he got approved. He took 7 lbs of skin off and my little tiny waist and cute lifted fanny makes me happy. I bought all new lingerie, small in panties and 32 DD in bra. I'm thrilled with my new shape. I had a breast reduction in my 20s so I am lucky they are still in ok shape. My thighs aren't perfect but I can live with that and my arms never got fat. Lol. Plastics changed my life. I love buying clothes now and dreaded it even when I was at goal because the skin in my abdomen and back looked like an inner tube. Now I am flat with a cute lifted tush. Over the moon!

I saved the money for a few years to get my body contouring. I partially financed through Care Credit interest free my facial plastic surgery.

I was self-pay. I joke that pretty soon I'm going to have a Maserati body. I have heard that financing options are often low interest if you have good credit and Mexico surgeries cost like 1/4 of what the same surgery in the state's costs. I really like my doctor a lot and he does a fabulous job, so I'm willing to pay the 50K it takes to get what I want, but believe me I would have preferred to have never been fat and bought the Maserati instead of just the new figure, lol.
