Financing

[khath0620 20]

Hi there,

Going for my PS consult next Tuesday. I have some significant skin issues and so am hopeful insurance will pay for a panniculectomy however I am hoping I can see how much extra a TT will be. I figured if I am going to have surgery then I am going to do it right and ONCE!

Just wondering, for those who have undergone plastic surgery, how did you finance it? Were there any special credit cards, loans, programs that helped with the financing? I can't pay an "all at once" cash fee but could probably manage to pay over a couple of years. Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi, my insurance is paying for my panniculectomy, my Dr. is charging an additional 1,000 for TT. Good luck. Let us know how it goes

HI Katie:

Glad to see your consult is next week. Are you going to see Dr. H. at Newton-Wellesley? I think she did a great job on my tummy, but it cost alot more than $1k extra like the poster above said.

If you've got really good credit, go and get a credit card that has no interest, and then play the credit card juggling game to trade for a different one that has no interest until you've paid it off. Another possibility is a credit union loan if you belong to one.

Let us know how it goes.

I was thinking of opening a credit card (have excellent credit) with 0% interest. I saw one for 21 months at 0% and then it goes up to like 15%. Depending on how much it costs I might be able to swing it.....

Sue, I am going to Dr. H. I am optimistic that she will be as good as you say she is. Will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Katie

Please tell her hello and that I have all good things to say about her and the Tummy Tuck she did for me.

So exciting! If you're anything like me you'll be so glad to see it gone.
