I want liposuction but I'm not able to get a loan. How else would I be able to pay without paying upfront?

Question

I had a baby about 10 months now. I still look pregnant and I hate it. I would like to do liposuction but due to my bad credit I am not able to take out a loan what other options do I have ?

Thanks for your inquiry.  You could check in your area if any surgeons accept payments, but I think you will find this is uncommon.  It might be best to save up for the procedure; you will then avoid any interest payments.

Saving a small amount every week is a guaranteed way to achieve your goal.  There may be lending agencies who would loan, but you would have to check with their guidelines.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The majority of doctors will only accept payment up front.  If you can't get financing then you should save as you can.

Peter Kreymerman, MD, FACS · Answer

Their are specific reasons that plastic surgeons collect fees upfront.  This is a common practice.  Since surgery is elective perhaps your best option is to save and then consider the surgery.
