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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
