CaGottaBand 498 Posted January 10, 2013 Start saving now. Also, I believe most cosmetic surgeons offer something called care credit. You might want to look into it. I think it's basically a credit card. 2 Mrs. Curtis and LouisianaLiLi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mumof2boys 71 Posted January 15, 2013 I had plastic surgery in 2009 (little did I know that I would have a baby in 2012)...anyway...I had mine done at George Washington Hospital in Washington, DC. Insurance did not pay for any of it. It costs me $19,600 for a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. I stayed in the hospital overnight and went home the next day. I love my surgeon and now that I'm back on the band wagon of losing baby weight I may have to go back to him. I'm scared of going outside of the US to have something like that done, but it's completely your choice. I borrowed the money from my retirement...it wasn't making any money in there anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saninbham 0 Posted January 21, 2013 I had a panneculectomy which is below the belly button (fanny pack). Insurance paid for mine. It's a bigger surgery but I got the same results that a friend of mine got when she had her Tummy Tuck (the surgeon decided she didn't need above the belly button tightening once he started-he said sometimes you don't know those things until you start surgery). She basically got a panneculectomy and still had to pay for a tummy tuck. I love mine (same scar as the tummy tuck). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted February 8, 2013 If you have skin irritation from excess skin rubbing, get it documented by your doc. Some insurances will pay for it as medically necessary in those cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brannewmee 103 Posted February 10, 2013 Well I do A LOT of exercise. I started out doing Water based exercise (lap swimming and Water aerobics) and once I had lost enough going on walks. Please note when I started I was getting injections to my right knee because I had pain so bad I could barely do my grocery shopping. Today I did a 6.5 mile walk at 3 miles and hour. To me that is the ultimate NSV. I'm doing 1-2+ hours cardio 7 days a week. This is wonderful to hear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wedding is in 1 year and she wants to get a Nip/Tuck If you are going to Mexico, I would also consider surgeons in the Guadalajara or Mexico City areas who treat Mexican patients more than Medical Tourism. I went to Cuernavaca which is just outside Mexico City, the TT was $5000 and the recovery house was $35 a day. That was two years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
