I had a lower body lift with pubic lift, fleur de lis, outer thigh lipo, fat grafting and butt lift. She quotes 10 k for all that with everything included meds, docs, food, hospital stay, after care recovery house, follow up, 24/7 nurses. I have pictures on real self and BariatricPal pal. For some reason this forum is difficult to post pics to. Too much trouble for me lol. Just search dr Cardenas on those sites and you'll find my reviews. Lots more pics.

My facial plastic surgeon took Care Credit interest free for an entire year.

Did you not end up getting a tummy tuck on June 10 in 2012?

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 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.
