Financing plastics?

[dc0520 263]

Well, I'm about 30 lbs away from goal and totally obsessed with the idea of plastics. I have always had a large chest that is purely breast tissue so my 36G chest is sagging like nothing I've ever seen. I guess breastfeeding three kids didn't help either. My stomach from three c sections is not nice for a 28 yr old either.

This brings me to my question....with savings accumulating incredibly slow - has anyone financed their plastics? Care credit interest free promotions are my interest specifically. If you have, was it hard to approve for?

Curiosity needs answers ????❤️

I haven't financed my plastics, but when I'm done losing - assuming my surgery is paid off - I would.

am only three months out...But hopefully my insurance will pay, when the pics of my stomach shows up LOL...Good luck!!!

I had my plastics in Mexico, so they weren't prohibitively expensive to begin with, but the way I financed mine was to borrow against my retirement. If you or your husband have a retirement account, you should look into that option. The nice thing about it is that you are just paying yourself back with interest.

In case anyone wonders - I went ahead and pulled the trigger with care credit. I was approved very easily with 18 month interest free term. When I decide on a date this will help tremendously ❤️

Congrats! Best of luck with your plastics and I wish you an easy recovery. Just a word of warning, the recovery from plastics is BRUTAL compared to WLS. It is serious business! Make sure you are able to take adequate time off work and have someone to help you in the early days at home. You will NOT be doing things for yourself... like not even bathing yourself in those early days.

@@JamieLogical You always give such great advice! It's people like you that make this sight so helpful....just saying! I will be checking with you once I get to goal and allow some time for everything to shift as it will.

I'm terrified of recovery. I think I'll do one procedure at a time. I've had three c sections and those were horrendous. I'm a baby about pain maybe lol the question is boobs or tummy first?!?! Lol oh the choices!

[JamieLogical 8,725]

Boobs are a lot easier, recovery-wise. So maybe those first and then work your way up to the TT? If you do the TT first, you may change your mind about having boobs done, since that one is tough! Or you could do them both at the same time, like I did, and just get it over with so you only have one recovery period. One thing to keep in mind in addition to the time off and the pain... each time you are recovering from surgery you will have to cut way back on exercise, so that's always a scary prospect when you are relying on regular exercise to keep your weight in check.

I have to have my boobs redone soon due to malpositioning of my left implant and I am DREADING falling back to square one with my upper body strength training and running.

I wanted to do my lower body lift and breasts at the same time, but was told I couldn't because I would have to be under anesthesia for too long. I was under for 6 hours for the LBL itself. I will definitely wait a good long time before I will be ready to go under the knife again!
