Theres some financing available for plastic surgery. Go to a search engine and type in (financing for plastic surgery) and it will pull up lots of info. Good luck to you.

Then you need drop them and find a insurance who does. If if is considered a heath risk to you then most insurance will cover it depending on where you live and who do you have for insurance. blue cross paid for all my surgery. tummy tuck, breast reductiion and gastric bypass may seem like plastic surgery to some but my doctor knew I had health problems that would lead to more health problems if I didn't get them done so they were all covered by my insurance!

Have you checked to see if they will pay for the removal of problematic excess skin. If you ask any of the insurance companies if they cover plastic surgery, they will say no. If you can document that you are having health problems due to the excess skin, ie., chafing, yeast infections, etc. then they may pay for that. But you will need documentation from you primary physician. There is always the appeal process also. If this doesn't get you anywhere, then you can see if your employer offers any other insurance carrier. Where I work you have a choice of 3. One is paying for my surgery. I have heard they will and won't pay for plastic surgery. One of the other carriers, I have heard will pay for the plastics related to weight loss, but you have to have lost over 100lbs and maintained that loss for 1 year - documented. So keep researching .... be tenaciuos. Also ask the individual plastic surgeons if they have some programs. Some have a "layaway" program, where you deposit money in your account there (attractive if you have trouble putting away money and leaving it alone) and when you have sufficient funds put away, then they will schedule. If you put the money in on a regular basis, it also shows the doctor that you are willing to commit to this financially. Hope this helps.... Kari_K
