Is There a Military Discount Anywhere out There for Liposuction?

Question

I need a liposuction procedure before the fat in my gut hardens. I am currently in the military, but no matter how much I exercise or diet, the fat doesn't come off. Is there a military discount that any doctor is willing to offer a combat Vet? There's no way I can afford it on my salary.

First & foremost - start by researching Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area. It is very important to choose a qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeon as there is no substitute for their extensive training in procedures such as Liposuction. Then simply call the office and inquire. Most practices we know offer at least 5-10% off the surgeon's fee. Hope this helps!

I would recommend checking the websites of board certified plastic surgeons in your area. You should be able to find an excellent surgeon who would offer a military discount.  There are some plastic surgeons who previously served in the military and can relate to the sacrifices you and your family made during your military service. We offer a 10% military discount on all surgical procedures to active and retired military members and their families.

	Thanks for your service!

There are affordable liposuction options and financing options available.  An exam would be necessary to determine if liposuction alone would produce great results.  Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

May surgeons offer discounts to active duty members of the military or their families.  I offer 10% off my surgical fee. Call some local surgeons and ask?

Dear bronxkid,

	I would check with the plastic surgeons in your area as many plastic surgeons will offer armed services personnel a discount.  The range of discount will be around 10-20% off of the surgeons fee.

	All the best,
