Many of you wouldn't qualify for a loan to begin with since you have no credit history. Go get an entry level discover card and buy league of legends riot points on it for a few years or something before reading.
This post isn't for you.
Now, many people advise against taking out loans in general, even those with high APR (above 20%) to pay for surgery.
But you have to reconceptualize your aesthetic problems as a form of congenital facial debt.
Some people are born with $50,000-$100,000 USD congenital facial debt, and this debt has an APR of 75%. Someone who has full facial recession necessitating double jaw surgery and a full platter of PEEK implants is BORN with, I don't know, let's ballpark it, $65,000 USD facial debt.
You need to economically quantify the amount of stress that would come from having this congenital facial debt over time. This stress converts to interest. For someone with congenital facial debt of $65,000, that stress, over a period of decades, produces, say, $150,000 USD in interest.
Faced with such debt, one might take out a personal loan of $25,000 with an APR of 25% to pay for bimax and a charcuterie board of implants--which might sound terrible as far as personal loans go--but it is NOTHING compared to that congenital facial debt.
Consider taking out such a "bad" loan as a form of debt consolidation. Many people will take out a personal loan with a low APR to pay off a credit card that has a high APR. In this case, the enormously high APR "credit card" is your face that looks like it was drawn by picasso, which you can pay off with a personal loan that has an APR that is not enormously high, but simply high.
