Question:
Any ideas of how to have plastic surgery without insurance and extra money ?
I am almost 3 yrs post op and I feel like I am only half finished with the project I started. I have gone to a plastic surgeon for a consulation on what I should have done and I need a lower body lift and boob lift. He quoted me a price, but I can't afford it. I do NOT have good credit, so financing or loan is out of the question, I don't have a savings with money to put down and pay out the rest. Insurance isn't going to pay, so does anyone have any ideas on how to have this done?? I live in Arkansas, but I would be willing to travel somewhere if I can get it done.

Hi,
I was wondering if you have had your doctor tell the insurance that the PS
you need is medically needed? My insurance will pay if it is medically
necessary. Just a thought and good luck! Also MBNA bank gives out loans
for medical reasons. I got a loan with them to have a medical proceddure
that was not covered by my insurance a few years ago. You can look them up
on line.
Take care

If your doctor determines your surery is medically necessary, for examples
do you get infections in skin folds, are your breasts very heavy and do
they cause problems with your neck and back etc. Is there any chance you
may have a hernia, because I've been told a tummy tuck is covered with a
hernia repair.

There is no cheap out with plastic surgery. I don't know your story or how
bad your "skin issues" are, but don't go to a cheaper surgeon, it
could cost your life. Quality surgery is worth paying for, or worth doing
without. I am almost 3 years out, and did have a tt (insurance did pay
after a fight, and change in insurance plans), but I won't have any other
done for a long time, or at all. I have flabby arms and my theighs, I call
them my charpea puppies (Mutt and Jeff). Spandex is our friend and I use
it, and it is enough for me. If you can't pay for it, then find other ways
to hold it together. It may not be the A plan, but it is a plan. Best to
you. Patricia P
