Mommy Makeovers: The Poor Woman’s Guide to Safe Plastic Surgery

Recently, stories about women jetting off to South and Central American countries to get low cost plastic surgeries and “mommy makeovers” have circulated widely. Budget conscious women looking to nip and tuck, some after having a baby, are looking for as many alternatives out there and taking risks traveling to nations that do not have the same safety regulations we have here in the US.  Not all women recover and many come back to the US and develop a host of post-operation complications. 
Top leading plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory H. Croll offers some other alternatives:
It’s no longer necessary to empty out your life savings to
get the plastic surgery of your dreams. There are many surgeries that you can
get that won’t break the bank. One option many people do when they don’t have a
lot of money for plastic surgery is to travel out of the country or to
somewhere else where plastic surgeries are a bit cheaper. While many people do
decide to do this it can be somewhat risky and can end up costing you a lot in
travel fees, as well. Plus it is always nice to just recuperate after a surgery
in the comfort of your own home, rather a foreign country.
If you just can’t
resist, though…
If you do decide that going out of the county is the route
you want to take, the best countries to do so are South Korea, or Greece and
Italy if you don’t want to go quite as far. The United States is the fourth best
country for plastic surgery, so if you aren’t going to one of the other three,
the US is the best bet for getting the best quality procedure for your dollar.
South Korea is the best place for plastic surgery because of the number of
skilled plastic surgeons that charge reasonable prices. Plastic surgeries are
also quite popular in South Korea, with the most popular surgery being double eyelid
surgery for people who want more Western-looking eyes. If you’re unable to
travel, or would rather get a plastic surgery at home in the US, there are
other options for cheap plastic surgeries.
Don’t Forget to Ask
for Discounts
Another thing you should try if you are getting a plastic
surgery is to ask your surgeon if there are any discounts. Many physicians in
the field are offering specials and price negotiation for popular procedures. The
most popular time to get plastic surgery is during the school year, when
parents can send kids to school, so if you can plan to get your surgery done
during the summer there are much better chances of getting a discount. Most
people don’t want to have to recover during the summer, but if you aren’t
worried about that you can save a lot of money by getting your surgery done
then.
Consolidate Surgeries
If you want to get more than one surgery done, you can also
save money by getting them done simultaneously. This not only saves you and the
surgeon money, but it can really work better for you as well. That way if you
have to ask off work for recuperating time, you are recuperating from both
surgeries instead of having to ask off for days for two separate surgeries. It
can also save money and time for both you and the surgeon because you only have
to go under the knife once.
Surgery Payment Plans
May Be Available
Sometimes you might make enough money for the surgery, not
have it right at the time that you need it. In this case, many surgeons offer
surgery payment plans, so you don’t have to pay a surgery off right away. Try
other options for reducing price first, though, because this option can easily
get you into debt if you’re not careful and then you have a whole other set of
problems.
Don’t Let Cheap
Interfere with Quality
These are just a few ways you might be able to save on
plastic surgery. But always remember that you want to make sure you are getting
a quality surgery. Ask around and make sure you know all the details about your
surgery before you get one. Especially if the procedure is abnormally
underpriced, you might want to listen to your gut if you are getting a bad
feeling about a plastic surgeon, because plastic surgeries aren’t easily
reversed. It will cost a lot of money to fix a botched surgery, which will
completely erase any savings you might have gotten original. Always listen to
your instinct and make sure you are talking to a certified surgeon. You can
find that out on this
