I went to one of the top plastic surgeons in the state, and it was just under $18,000. They had a 6 month no interest financing package, and I did that.

Thank you for replying. Do you have photos? How much did all of it cost? I know that everyone is different. I need an upper and lower body lift
Tammy:)
When I started my reconstructive surgeries, I had no debt aside from my mortgage and lots and lots of room on low interest credit cards and my home equity line of credit. I also had a fair amount in savings as I have automatic monthly transfers set up to savings that I then forget about. My mom was also kind enough to give me gift of about 10-15% of the total cost.
So.. savings, debt, and a lovely gift from my mom.
I'll be paying off the debt for most all of 2018 probably, but it was worth every penny.

I had to prioritize what I really care about... so I ended up just getting a 360 LBL with a fleur de liz and BL. Legs and arms are still baggy, but my torso is awesome! Definitely worth it!

I think it depends on your personal situation and credit. I funded a large portion of mine from cash and the other portion from a short-term personal loan. I have good credit and got a decent interest rate and it will be paid off quickly.

WOW, I am so happy for you! That tummy and those curves! Wow,
I would love to see the before and after pics! Did you also have your breast done!
I am hoping to have my plastics next year and have to go to Mexico to be able to afford it.
Could you please tell me everything you had done and the cost. Was the aftercare center for a week included?
Did they do lipo?
Thank you
Tammy

Hello,
I have not seen any photos, before or after and would LOVE to. I also am waiting to win the lottery:) What doctor did you use, how much did it cost, where was the doctor located. Did the LBL include a full tummy tuck? What else did you LBL include
Thank you so much for answering these questions.

Hello, I am truly wondering how people afford plastic surgery. I have about $20,000 worth of plastics I am wanting and that is the price in Mexico.
I am getting out of debt this year and next year I am saving my tax return and other monies and hope that I can save half of that. I also have care credit however, the interest rate is 24%
Thank you,
Tammy
