Is it expensive to get plastic surgery because of bad skin?

It might be impossible, depending on why your skin is "bad." Chronic diseases of the skin will recur even if tissue is excised. Other chronic diseases will flare up in places where they never have before if the skin suffers some sort of trauma. \n\nI've been dealing with psoriasis since age 6. Over time, I've learned to manage it fairly well but there are some things I have completely ruled out or had ruled out for me. I've not considered plastic surgery, but I have considered getting tattooed. Unfortunately, were I to get one, it would likely cause my psoriasis to become active in an area where it hasn't been present before or to resume activity from years ago. I've been warned by a few artists and two doctors. Talk to your doctor and see what she/he has to say.

is it a medical reason you need them or a cosmetic one??? sometimes they are not a real medical need and then not really necessary! see if you can make payments!

Even thought it's costly, you need to go to a dermatologist. If anyone will know how to get rid of them for good he (or she) will. If you try to do it yourself you run the risk of infection. Good luck!

Get your breast implant surgery in INdia if cost is a factor for you.Cosmetic Surgery (including facelift/ breast enhancement/reduction/ tummy tuck./lipo) is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by the stinking NHS in UK\n\nThey also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star .\n\nMy cousin got her cosmetic surgery for breast implants and she is more than very happy with the results.SHe is all praise for this forerunners healthcare companyfor the services they provided her.She paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her.Excellent stay,food, best surgeons-she just couldnt stop talking.hope this helps.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com

No I agree with you. In many cases you either have bad plastic surgery or repeated surgeries and you get that shiny, plastic look, which is not appealing. Not a natural look.

dermabrasion works but it is expensive and sore but worth every penny

Medicaid is a big problem because it considers breast reduction a cosmetic surgery and won't ordinarily approve it.  But as you say you have confirmation that you have a genuine medical need, your doctor needs to fax a TAR (Treatment Authorization Request) to them to get prior approval for the procedure.  You need to contact them and get the name of a cosmetic surgeon who is contracted with Medicaid.  Good luck, Medicaid pays slowly and pays pennies and many specialists don't want to be bothered with it.  If you don't want to go through Medicaid to get the name of a surgeon, you can contact your local Medical Association and they may be able to halp you locate a surgeon.

I can understand why this bothers you - many of my relatives and siblings have the same problem. And same as you, they're all pretty trim, but they just have this extra skin under their chin that bothers them. I've done some research on it on their behalf - I do think it's a smart preventative measure. It would make you feel better now, of course, but also help keep later sagging to a minimum.\n\nAnyway, I think what you're considering is a neck-lift...it lifts the saggy layers of skin just under your chin and gives you better definition at the base of your face. I'm sure you've found that plastic surgery costs vary based on where you live, but I've found the range to be from around $6,000, up to $10,000. This probably will depend on various fees (operating room, anesthesia...), but also on how much "work" you're having done. Recovery doesn't sound too bad - the day or two after are probably the toughest, as you wear a neck brace, and there's probably a week or two of total "downtime." When you start consulting with doctors, they'll obviously have details, and most will be able to get you touch with a previous patient so you can hear about their experience.\n\nI'm including a good website I found below, hopefully that'll help you learn more. Good luck to you! I definitely think this is a valuable procedure.

Plastic surgery has many side effects, both physical and mental.  You will likely suffer pain for at least a few weeks, and as mentioned in previous answers, lose money.  It is hard to see yourself as someone else when it is over too.  It is ultimately your choice, but I suggest talking about it with a doctor or therapist.  Good luck!

What do you mean by repair? Check out Mederma. Plastic surgery is another option.

The best way to go about finding that plastic surgeon willing to help would be to ask directly, and ask many! If it is truly something they would view as a charity situation,I'd imagine a few would do it out of kindness(and/or publicity). If it's something cosmetic to improve self-image for the patient, some offer to line up payment plans usually through local places, interest rate im sure based on the patient's credit rating. my guess would be 12% as a good example. if they wont let you ask for referrals from former patients, i would have trouble trusting them. And if it is for you personally, make sure it's important enough to you to go through a good bit of pain and recovery time before you make that decision. there are some things i could consider changing about myself, but i realize that people like me for who i am a great deal more than my appearance. whether for you or someone else, i hope I've been helpful,and have a great weekend!

It depends on the size, color of pigmnets, age and other factors.  It can varie from hundreds to many thousands of dollars.  A visit to a dermatologist to find out for sure will cost you between $0 and $200.  Only by examining the Tatt can anyone give you a good estemate.

Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost of Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery in India. One of the most frequently asked questions when considering Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery is "how much?" and “what is the price of surgery in India?”\n\nOftentimes, patients choose their surgeon on the basis of price. \nThe cost of Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery is very affordable in India and costs are much lower when compared to the United States, UK and other countries. However, since the success of your surgery is largely dependent on your choice of surgeon, cost should not be your main consideration for your decision to undergo Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery in India.\n\nI checked out the website of Forerunners Healthcare –which is the premier most medical tourism company in India offering low cost surgery in India to International Patients. They have served more than 400 International patients from across the globe (specially US and UK) to get low cost affordable surgery in India at the best Hospitals and Medical Institutions. And the general price of the Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery is as follows-\n\nThe Cost of Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery in India is $ 1,000.\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\n\nIn India, any licensed medical doctor can perform Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction surgery. To avoid unsatisfactory results, it is best to choose a surgeon who has completed an accredited residency-training program in Lip Lifting/Lip Reduction   surgery. He should have extensive experience in the procedure you will undergo. That’s when Forerunners Healthcare come into picture-helping you get the best surgeon for your surgery at the most affordable prices in the best Hospitals of India.\n\nYour surgeon's skill can make all the difference between a good and an average result. Thus, although it is understandable that price is one of the considerations in your choice of surgeon, it is important to remember that the main consideration should be your surgeon's professional qualifications and experience.\n\nBesides that you should look into other issues related to traveling abroad, which is your visa, passport, climate, cultural issues and language barrier. Although language is not a problem in India –as most of the people are well verse in English. But you should make sure that you have a reliable hand holding person to guide you through the various steps of getting medical treatment and surgery in India.\n\n\nHope this helps.

Expect to pay 1000 - 2000 dollars.\n\nIf it sound too good to be true (like these 200 dollar deals) it probably is. Eyes are very precious and it is important to get the surgery done by a reputable clinic.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not break this figure down beyond "General Surgery", but the figure is $228,800 - $282,500, so it includes plastic surgery.\n\nIt is one of the best paid surgery-type of position available.
