Do not have good credit - are there financing options for urgent breast implant removal that could help?

Question

I had my breast implants done in 2017 and have been in excruciating pain ever since. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia soon after having them done. Over the past year I have had trouble breathing, rib cage pain, and more from the implants. My doctor has done all tests and ruled out any other cause. I do not have good credit and do not have cash to pay for the removal. My insurance does not cover it. Does anyone know of any programs to help?

Hello, thank you for your question. That is unfortunate that you have to undergo that. Yes after receiving a quote, we work with three medical financing companies that we refer our patients to. They are the following:  Beautifi, medicard and credit medical. You can give them a call. Hopefully everything works out.

I am unaware of any programs that could assist you. You could join my Facebook Group and maybe someone in the group would know this answer for you. My practice sees patients from different states and countries and may know of something in your area.

Dear Trustworthy492806,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having.  There are financing companies that can assist, but may be influenced by your credit standing.  You may want to look into groups with others who have had BII symptoms to see if they may have some direction.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You could go to a plastic surgery training clinic and see if they will give you a reduced price for your surgery.

You should try Care Credit, Alpheon, United Medical or I-credit.  One of these may loan you the funds if you have a steady job.
Have you asked your surgeon to remove your implants under local anesthesia to save money?
