Does anyone know . . .

 . . . how much a face lift costs?  No kidding.  I really need a chin tuck or something!!!  and my company is planning on going to a HSA.  Does anyone know if I can use the funds in an HSA for cosmetic plastic surgery?

Most health savings accounts won't let the funds be used for plastic surgery :( I know mine won't. so, check with your insurance company.

We are supposed to have our first meeting tomorrow to discuss our new "benefits," or lack of.  I hate to ask that question in a whole room of people.  (But I will).  I didn't think they would, but I was hoping pre-tax dollars could be used.

You can try to find out through a consultation with a surgeon.  I would think the consultations would be free.

I am hoping that by the time I am ready to have surgery - there'll be studies where the docs are looking for guinea pigs for a reduced cost...........  :)

In the meantime, I hear scotch tape works wonders - it's invisible and doesn't tear wrapping paper!

I was hoping for a miracle syrum that would instantly shrink and firm skin.  LOL.

Well, I won't pander to you and tell you I don't think you need one, because what matters is what YOU think!!

I'm with Candy - I would guess most consults would be free.  If you don't feel comfortable asking in a room full of people about your insurance, I'm sure there'll be a number where you can call to check.

Again, though, you might want to check with a PS first to see specifically what procedures he/she recommends.

I'm afraid that I'll get there and they won't stop with just the face lift.  I'm sure they will be giving me recommendations.

If anything - if they keep going and say this and that, ask them if there's a bulk discount for covering all of those things.  Like buy a facelift get boobs and butt lift free?

Sounds good to me!!

Gasp, Tia?  you're with me?  even on the scotch tape thing?
