Financing available or methods of payment

[steroid abuser]

After years of steroid abuse I have developed gynecomastia. I need the surgery bad but have lack of funds and not the best credit. Am I totally screwed? I am 33 years old with a well paying job. If anyone has any suggestions or help in this matter it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you have a 'well paying job' then why can you not afford the cost of surgery?

It's time to open up a 'savings' account!

Lot's of other expenses left behind from an ex. How much is the surgery? And how did you guys pay for the surgery? All responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That sux Dude!  :-/

My surgery was about approx $5000 ( Canadain coin ). That would be about $4000 USD.  My out of pocket was $1280 including tax. The difference was picked up by OHIP ( Ontario Health Insurance Plan ). The $1280 was for the Lipo portion of the proceedure. OHIP deems Lipo to be cosmetic and will not pay for that.

I paid the $1280 with cash.

Here are the costs I have incurred so far:

$4040 for gyne removal, vest, and hospital fees
$195 for initial blood work
$229 for further blood work
$67 for endocrinologist appointment (I'm a student and she's extremely nice)
$30 roughly for pre-op vitamins

That's about $4600 or so.  I did get very generous prices on my blood work because a friend owns a blood screening company, and I got my blood tests for nearly his cost.  For the tests I got I would have probably paid well over $700.

I am not financing my surgery.

$5K for the gynecomastia correction and love handles lipo.  The indiidual breakdown was 2/3 respectively.

[timbo]

the gynecomastia portion of my initial surgery was $3700 for the PS fee, $875 for the hospital, and then the anesthesia fee probably brought it all up to about $5000.  The PS fee included all office visits and revisions.

I paid 1070$ canadian...used the old mastercard!

[boobhater22]

Do they give discounts if you have more than one plastic surgery at once? I got up to 330 lbs - have lost a little over a 100 now, and I will wait until I am at my ideal weight - 170 - before I get the surgery. I fear I probably will need a tummy tuck due to being so heavy...would i get a discount if I got them at the same time?

i'm in the exact same boat as bambu cost wise (same PS as well)..

except i paid it with mastercard, not cash
