Do I Have Any Options if I Don't Have the Money to Pay For Surgery?

Thank you for your question.  Your options would be looking to see if you are eligible for Medicaid.  Also, lower fee surgeries could be offered from a teaching institution and/or a surgeon who is new in practice and trying to build up his patient base.

Best wishes.

You have received good advice from my colleagues and you should be pursuing any benefits you may be eligible and qualify for such as Medicaid.  This would allow you to pursue this with minimal financial risk to your family.  If you do not qualify, I would suggest new doctors who may be more flexible in their fees to help themselves establish a patient base or residency programs if you live in a larger community.  In the meantime, you should also do your best to lose what weight you can through simple lifestyle changes as it can only benefit you. 

Pursuing the low cost alternatives of Medicaid or Medical School services are your best choices.

 

However, be careful that you might be held personally liable for any expenses that may occur if you suffer any complications.  This is definitely a question to ask if you are having the procedure performed at a training institution.

 

Having said that, breast reduction surgery is one of the most gratifying surgeries to perform and has one of the highest patient satisfactions.

 

Good luck!!
