In house financing?

Hey, My name is Jen and I’m 37 years of age. I want to get a Vaginoplasty/labiaplasty combo. Due to me having three children, sex isn’t fun anymore, and I want to change that. I have the funds, but due to identity theft, my credit isn’t great and I can’t get approved. I make enough money to pay for financing. Please help

Procedure: Body Contouring
Location: tampa, FL

Hello, you should take a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who does this. I could help you but you should travel to Argentina.

I am Not aware of any surgical center, Accredited office surgical facility that accepts in house financing.

Neither that of Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Any surgery carries a certain amount of risks and potential complications. How are you to deal with the expense of complications?

My advise to patients is: do not mortgage the house for elective cosmetic surgery.

There are many expenses with any kind of surgery. Not just the surgery fee but the hospital or surgery center expenses, anesthesia, medicines, etc. and these could be one half of the surgical fee. Why should a surgeon pay for these ancillary costs? You would not do it. There are some things available to you such as "Care Credit". Surgeons are in the business of doing surgery and not credit or financing. We do a lot of surgery free of charge for patients that need it but do not pay for the surgical expenses. What you describe is totally cosmetic in nature and this is a completely different thing and it is recommended to wait until you can afford it. The total costs for what you describe should be between $5500 to $7500 depending on who you see.

Thank you for your question regarding money for a vaginoplasty-labioplasty combination. Some third-party lenders lend money for plastic surgery. Care Credit is one such company. They can often lend money even if your credit could be better. Another alternative is to obtain a credit card with minimal interest. You can use that credit card to pay for the surgery. A third option is to discuss your situation with your plastic surgeon. Some plastic surgeons offer in-house financing. However, this entirely depends on your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
