I went for my 3rd consults yesterday and I love the doctor. I still have one more consult to go to but out of all 3, I love her the most.

She said I need 3 things done, arm lift, inner thigh lift (not the long scar but the scar around my panty) and exxtended tummy tuck. She said she can do all 3 procedures in 4 hours. The total cost will be $19,000. Her fees is about $12,000 and the rest is the surgical room and Anesthesia fees..this is an outpatient and not include hospital stay. She give me a one year for revision if something goes wrong within a year, i don't have to pay anything except if it is major and has to be done in a hospital operating room which I have to pay for the fees.

Is this sounds reasonable? BTW, I live in TN.

Thank you,

I paid 13,700 for a tt, thigh lift and breast lift/reduction with implants. Mine was also done out patient, and was a 6 hour surgery, so I would think that is a little high. What are the other quotes?

It varies so much from region to region. With an extended tummy tuck, that's not really outside the range of what I've been told to expect. (The surgeon I think I'm going to use, in Houston, is in the 19,000-20,000 range for these surgeries. Another, in Pittsburgh, is a tad higher, and a third and fourth, in NY and LA, are WAY higher.)

it helps when the surgery is not done in a hospital, but rather in a surgery center, usually owned by the surgeon. You aren't paying the ridiculous amounts for the use of the operating room.

I am getting extended TT, lift w/silicone gel implants, lipo and fat transfer to the bum for $16,500.

I'm having it done in Houston, TX if that makes a difference.

I'm in the middle of this too. I was quoted $27,000 for an arm lift, extended TT, breast enhancement with a lift and not sure what getting the back fat and skin removed is called. I think it sounds a little steep, but I'm seeing two more in the next two weeks to compare surgeons and prices.

I paid around $17,000 for Extended tummy tuck with an anchor cut, muscle tightening. Small breast lift with silicone implants. The price was for all dr's fees' the surgery center, the anasthesiologist, and 2 nights in a care center. Surgery was 7-8 hrs. I had a small revision done on the tummy because of scar issues due to necrosis and that surgery was 2.5 hours (basically a new tummy tuck was done) and the drs fees were free on that. All Drs visits were covered under the 17 grand for as long as I needed them. I'm in Calif and had the surgery in LA/Bev hills area

I agree it depends on where you live. I had a TT, arm lift, inner and outer lipo on thighs and I paid 11,400 with a surgery time of 3 hours. This was about 40 miles south of Chicago. I met with a Dr. from Chicago and the price would have been just under 17,000 without the thighs.

It's all about location.

Sorry for the late reply. I live in Nashville, TN and I have been to 4 surgeons now.

• The first surgeon is going to do TT with muscle repair, arm life & medial inner thigh lift. He has his own facility but I do not like him because I felt rush and my questions were not answered. Eventhough he is one of the top surgeon in Nashville and has his own facility, if he and I don’t click, it is not going to happen… he quoted me $12,000 total (2 surgeries) (out patient).
  
• The second surgeon wants to do belt tummy tuck, arm lift and thigh lift (2 surgeries) (1 day stay in hospital with tummy tuck & thigh lift) Outpatient for arm lift..total $18,000.
  
• The 3rd surgeon, whom I love is going to do extended tummy tuck, muscle repair, arm life and inner thigh lift (out patient) total $19,030.
  
• The 4th surgeon will send me the quote tomorrow. He also is going to do extended tummy tuck with vaser lipo because I have fat on my hip, arm lift and inner thigh lift (2 surgeries as well) all out patient. BTW, I like him too J
  

Right now I fell lost. I really don’t know what I really need since all 4 said differently about my tummy.

Thank you for reading

If you don't mind sharing I would like to know what doctor you went to. I live in Fresno and since i'm getting close to my goal I've been looking for a good doctor. Also, would you recommend or go back to the same doctor? Thanks!

I am in houston and have been for a few consults if u don't mind me asking what dr are you having your surgery with?
