What are the funding options for mommy makeover surgery besides medical credit cards?

In our practice, we use Care Credit as well as other companies; they have been used by our patients with no problems. They do have different rates so please make sure you get all of the information you need prior to signing up with any financing company.
Generally speaking, it is always in patients' best interests to achieve a certain degree of financial stability prior to undergoing elective surgery of any type. Patients should also keep in mind that additional surgery may be necessary in the short or long term, following the primary procedure that is being performed; this additional surgery may be associated out-of-pocket expenses. Again, best to achieve a physical, emotional, psychosocial, and financial “stable state” prior to considering elective plastic surgery. Best wishes.

Dear deliza666,

Thank you for your clinical post and sorry to hear that your
abdomen suffered from the childbirth process, but the consequences hopefully
are some wonderful kids and unfortunately some loose abdominal soft tissue and
muscle laxity.

A mommy makeover generally consists of some tummy tightening
work, breast rejuvenation surgery after breast augmentation and liposuction or
some combination thereof. Cosmetic
surgery is a luxury good item and is expensive, but there are some financing
options offered by most clinics including Medicard Finance. If job prospects are unfavourable or your
credit score is low then a co-signer will be required. There are some other options such as a
classic “layaway program” where you pay money to a clinic until a significant
portion of the fee has been paid for and you may then be able to finance the
rest either on credit card, family and friends or through Medicard
Finance. Most clinics will not provide
the procedure and then allow you to pay after in installments for obvious
reasons.

You can secure the funds, obtain the surgery and feel less
depressed about the aesthetic consequences of childbirth.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.

For more information, please review the link below. And also
the section on Medicard Financing.
