Pro Bono reconstructive surgery

I have this horrible c-section scar and a huge flap of skin that hangs over it. I cannot wear any clingy skirts or pants and swimsuits are almost impossible. I would like my scar reconstructed and possibly a tummy tuck if needed or lipo with it. I cannot afford this procedure so i was wondering if you knew any doctors in Nashville that do pro bono work. I am a single woman and it totally affects intimacy and my summer plans with friends.PLEASE help me!

I concur with the comments from lexande1 above.  Financing is available in most plastic surgeon offices.

No, that is too much for me.I am living paycheck to paycheck. I lost my business 2 yrs ago so I am trying to recover from total financial loss. although I am building my credit back slowly, I am unable to get financing for anything at this point. I have no credit cards and am unable to get a loan at the bank.

I am really sorry to say, but I think pro-bono work is only done on those who have been severely disfigured in accidents etc.

Can't you come up with a payment plan- pay a couple of hundred a month?
