How are people paying for plastics?



Recommended Posts

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

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!

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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
