How do I get financial aid for cosmetic surgery?

There are a lot of different options, a lot of our patients use CareCredit, Proper Health Care Lending or M-Lend.  You can apply online.  You can also ask your bank or credit union if they would do a personal loan.  

Hello, I would suggest researching medical financing companies in your region.  In my area there are several but they all offer different repayment terms and interest rates so it's worth doing your homework.

A good start may be to visit your primary care physician to see what are your options in medical coverage. If not , then you can look into Care Credit to see if they have a favorable solution for you. Best of luck

Only have cosmetic surgery if you can afford it. There are financing companies such as CareCredit that offer lending options. 

First, I think that you need to find a surgeon you would like to have perform your surgery. Second, you should speak with the doctor's office to see what types of financing programs are available.

You may want to try CARE CREDIT. If they deny it, you could get info on some other credit companies.

Few cosmetic procedures are covered by medical insurance.Sometimes an abdominoplasty can be partially covered if the skin develops rashes or infections. When this is the case, the procedure covered is referred to as a panniculectomy. It is simply an amputation of the loose-hanging skin. To perform a proper abdominoplasty, the belly button needs to be repositioned, and muscle tightening is typically performed. This part of the procedure is never covered by insurance. Other skin removal procedures, such as arm lifts, thigh lifts, breast lifts or facelifts, are never covered by insurance. There are several companies that offer financing for cosmetic surgery. The biggest one that is most commonly used is called CareCredit.Many plastic surgery offices offer this type of financing. Patients must qualify for financing like any other loan.There is no other type of financial aid of which I am aware. Patients are expected to pay for cosmetic surgery themselves.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

Many Plastic Surgeons offer financing options.  A good start is to locate Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area through the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.  Another option to consider is a teaching hospital with a plastic surgery training program.  The Society can help you locate one in your region.
