Title: Guys who had top surgery
Post by: s1ncere on June 18, 2010, 03:16:17 PM
Has anyone had top surgery and used a loan to get it?

I was wondering if I can use a loan....under someones else name?
I have a good credit score but unfortunately I lost my job...so I can imagine I wouldn't get approved...

I haven't done it myself, but I know there are medical loans in existence.  As for using someone else's credit, if you have someone who trusts you enough to take the risk, you can have them as a co-signer on the loan.  My dad did that for me when I bought my first car.

Are you a student? If so and your student loans are not maxed out, I have heard from many guys who have covered their top surgeries this way, and it is how I plan to do it. There are also companies like CareCredit that sometimes have decent rates; that one might have a plan where you pay no interest if you pay it off within 2 years, but I may be thinking of another one. However, not all surgeons will accept payment via credit companies. I know that Medalie and Garramone will, and I have heard that Fischer will not. Don't know for other surgeons.

yes i am a student...I was actually planning on using my student loan...but I had to fix my car...n lost my job.So I'm basically living off those loans right now.
