How to Save Your Dollars for a Breast Augmentation

If you would like to undergo breast augmentation but think it’s unaffordable—think again. There are many easy ways to save for this procedure, and most of them aren’t as painful as you might think.



1. Set a Goal
It sounds too easy, but one of the first things you need to do when you have decided to save up for a breast augmentation is to set a realistic goal and timeline. How much time do you need to save? When do you ideally want to undergo the procedure? Is it a realistic goal? Picking a set date that is feasible and allows you to comfortably save up money will make the process that much easier and more exciting.


2. Start Small
The costs of breast augmentation may seem overwhelming at first. Not only is there the surgeon’s fees, but transport, lost wages during recovery, and hospital costs. You most likely will have to save a few thousand dollars. Starting with small amounts of money can help ease you into the process. Putting away even fifty dollars a week will slowly add up over time and before you know it you’ll have a bundle of cash for your breast augmentation.

3. Cut Costs
Having trouble socking away extra money for your procedure? An easy and pain free method of helping you save is by cutting out small, unnecessary luxuries that are probably costing you more than you notice. Have a gourmet coffee addiction? Maybe it’s time to switch to a cheaper coffee shop or brew your own at home. Costs of cigarettes blowing your budget? You’ll need to quit before your breast augmentation surgery anyways so the sooner you do the more cash you’ll have. Making small changes will eventually add up to bigger dollars.


4. Sell
While the thought of a garage sale to help you raise funds might make you squirm, there’s an easy way you can help make some quick cash through selling some unwanted items. Use bidding websites to help you unload items you no longer need. You would be surprised at the extra income it can generate and it takes minimal time investment. Best of all, you won’t need to sit on your front lawn and haggle with your neighbor over pennies.


5. Smart Saving
If you are taking a longer path and need more than a year to save up for your surgery, consider putting your savings into a high interest yield account. Not only will it help you not touch it, but it will work for you. Talk with your bank about what options are available.

If you follow these tips you’ll be on your way to surgery in no time. You don’t have to go into debt over a cosmetic procedure when you can achieve your goals by saving smartly, being proactive, and setting realistic goals. Remember to always save more than you anticipate there may be unexpected costs along the way.
