Financing for Plastics



Recommended Posts

So I've gone to a couple of plastic surgeons for consults and one Dr I was really really impressed with. He was actually really impressed with me as well. He stated that a full on Tummy Tuck might not be necessary because my abs are solid. I guess with tummy tucks they also do some Lipo but he told me I have no fat to lipo, even though another Dr wanted to lipo and I was wondering where and what she was going to suck out. I'm very bony just have excess skin hanging in the tummy area and my tatas have so south and not just for the winter. I was a 42 DDD to a 42 F depending on where I purchased my bras and now I'm a sagging 36C. My main priority right now is getting my girls back.

I've seen where people are getting financed for the sleeve surgery and would that financing go towards plastics too and who did you go through. I tried Care Credit through the Dr's office and got denied.

Any help with insurance covering this or financing would be greatly appricated

I think I have read some posts where some DRs can get any procedure covered by insurance. But most can't or won't. I think if you can get your insurance to pay for a panni, due to rashes and such, you can just pay the difference to get the full Tummy Tuck. That is what I plan to do if I really need one in the end.

My sleeve was finance through Mysurgeryloans.com give them a try it seems like they work with all types of credit if you're willing to pay the high interest rate. Good luck getting the girls back. I will get mine done too as soon as I reach my goal.

Thank u,

I see my WL surgeon on Thursday and his nurse who is the greatest said she's going to try and get primary care Dr on board to say it's medically necessary. My primary Dr won't do anyhting I suggest unless it's brought up by another Dr, he's very irritating on that aspect.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
