I need financing to help me pay for the breast augmentation and liposuction (i.e. mommy make over) I plan to undergo this summer, but I am kind of weirded out about getting a loan for this. I don't want to end up dealing with some sleazy creditor that preys on people like me who just want to look and feel a little better about their bodies. Can any doctors out there speak to which lenders their patients have worked with? If you've heard any horror stories or would recommend one lender over another, please share.

Answer: Lenders for plastic surgery Excellent question! I understand that plastic surgery can be an expensive out of pocket cost. Our office offers financing through CareCredit. Keep in mind, some lenders have zero interest rates for a period of time (ex. 6 months), but their interest rates can be high over the grace period. Be sure that the interest-free window makes sense in your budget.

Answer: Plastic Surgery Financing - What Are Some Reputable Lenders? There are several companies that offer independent financing for plastic surgery procedures in Australia. We directly do not offer the finance but have had patients that have used both these companies previously; tlc.com.au/ and medipay.com.au/. Both have application forms available online and you can contact them directly to see if you are eligible or discuss their fees and payment options. Depending on your procedure, there is sometimes the option of receiving money through your superannuation. You can also discuss this directly with your superfund to see if you are eligible. As always, cosmetic and plastic surgery is a medical procedure and we always suggest and recommend you discuss and consider the potential risks with your Surgeon before making any decision to go ahead and have an operation. Please do your research and see a Specialist Plastic Surgeon who has the FRACS qualification after their name.

Answer: Pay attention to fees and interest rate for financing I encourage patient to save up for plastic surgery if possible because financing adds costs. We use Care Credit and Prosper, both are well established. Care Credit is owned by General Electric and is the largest medical financing company. There are some short term interest free financing plans, but check for fees and whether interest back-dates to the start of the loan if the interest free pay back period is exceeded.Good luck.
