Looking for Plastic Surgeon in Dallas Metroplex



Recommended Posts

I am ready to get an initial consult so I can start preparing financially to have an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation. I am intending on paying for the majority of my surgery with my Care Credit account and the rest will be cash. I am looking for a reputable surgeon in the Dallas/Fort Worth TX metroplex who takes Care Credit and offers the promos (i.e. same as cash interest free.) I could look on Care Credit's website but I would prefer to go to a surgeon that my Bariatric Pals have used and trust! Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

The office I used to work in, accepted care credit. It's not the office that offers the "promos" it's actually care credit. Tip, if you are going to pay it off before you are charged interest, you may want to make all of your payments by the eleventh month and not wait for the 12 statement to arrive. Good luck- Dallas has some very talented surgeons imo.

Each facility has the option of deciding the interest rate you will get. The lower the rate you have to pay, the smaller portion of the amount put on care credit the facility actually gets. Some facilities do not offer the 12 month no interest because they lose so much profit. Definitely something you want to check on before you put a lot on a care credit card. In addition, there is a $200.00 per transaction minimum to be eligible for a promotional rate.

Sorry I don't have any DFW surgeon info - just wanted to make sure the care credit thing was cleared up.

Thanks for the info...I actually paid for my VSG surgery using care credit and will have it paid off soon. For larger amounts financed some places will offer the 36 month interest free financing which is what I would be interested in.

That's very good to know! I will remember this for when I'm finally to the point of needing plastics. Please keep us posted on your search for a surgeon. I live in the Dallas area, too.

A friend of mine had her body done with Dr. Peter Fisher and he did a fabulous job. I also know many patients love Dr. John LoMonaco. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
