Male-Specific Plastic Surgery Financing

What is male-specific plastic surgery financing?

Plastic surgery financing is where you borrow money from a lender to pay for your plastic surgery financing. This may come in the form of a personal loan, where you borrow a lump sum and pay it back via monthly installments, or another form of financing, such as a line of credit.

What are the different types of male plastic surgery?

There are no rules around who can and can’t have certain procedures, but there are some that are more popular with men:

• Body Lift - this is a popular option for men who have lost a substantial amount of weight and now need to have excess skin removed and tightened.
• Chin Augmentation - men can have their chin and jawline made more prominent with the use of dermal fillers or implants.
• Eyelid Rejuvenation or Eye Lift - men who have experienced a lot of age-related sagging around their eyes often choose to invest in eyelid rejuvenation to give them a more youthful and bright-eyed appearance.
• Neck Lift - men who have experienced age- or weight-related sagging around their neck area often choose to have a neck lift, where the skin around the neck is tightened and excess skin removed.
• Rhinoplasty - also known as a nose job, many men dissatisfied with the size and/or shape of their nose choose to have its shape surgically altered.
• Liposuction - this is a good option for men with stubborn fat pockets that they dislike but are of a stable and happy weight overall.
• Gynecomastia - this is the name for a male breast reduction. Many men struggle with larger male breasts as they age, either due to hormones or putting on weight, and gynecomastia will remove this excess tissue.

What are the best male plastic surgery procedures?

Whatever makes you feel happier and more comfortable in your own skin will be best for you.

What is male plastic surgery for the chest?

Gynecomastia surgery, as we touched on above, is a male breast reduction, and is one of the most popular procedures.

Another option is pectoral implants, which is where implants are added below the skin to give the appearance of strong pectoral muscles.

What is male plastic surgery for the abs?

If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your abdominals, you can have liposuction to remove stubborn pockets of fat that haven’t left due to your exercise and diet regime.

Another option is abdominal etching (liposculpture), which is where that unwanted fat is strategically removed, leaving some behind to give the appearance of a six-pack.

How can I finance male-specific plastic surgery financing?

• Savings: if you have enough savings to cover all or part of your procedure(s), it will nearly always be the most cost-effective way to do so since you won’t owe any money and have to pay interest, or you’ll be able to borrow less and pay it off more quickly.
• In-House Financing: many plastic surgeons partner with a lender to offer in-house financing for procedures. This usually means the money is paid directly to the surgeon and you only borrow what you need to cover the costs of your surgery. If you consider this option, make sure you compare rates and terms with what you could get borrowing from an independent lender.
• Personal Loans: a personal loan is the most popular form of borrowing for plastic surgery. This is where you apply for a lump sum and, once approved, the lender deposits the amount in your bank account for you to use as you please. You can then use this money to cover the cost of the procedure and any other associated costs. Interest rates are typically between 6% - 20%, depending on your creditworthiness.
• Low-Interest Credit Cards: A low (sub 10%) interest rate credit card can be another good option, provided you can get a high enough credit limit to cover your costs. Another option is an 0% APR credit card, which is a card with an introductory offer where you do not have to pay interest. These often have shorter terms, but if you can land one with a longer term (12-21 months) you may be able to pay off your costs without paying interest.
• HELOC: if your procedure(s) are expensive and you own your own home, a Home Equity Line of Credit can be a good option. This is where a lender gives you access to a line of credit with a limit (as with a credit card) and you can use it as you please, only paying interest on the money you actually borrow. A HELOC is secured on the value of your home, which means you can often get lower interest rates and a higher limit, but also means your home is at risk if you default.
• 401(k) Loan: some 401(k) plans will allow you to take out a loan of up to $50,000 or 50% of your savings (whichever is smaller) and pay it back over 5 years. This can be a good option for those with bad credit, since you don’t need a credit check, but they do have their limitations. For example, some won’t allow you to pay into them while you’re paying your loan back, which can set your retirement plans back.
