Curious as to cost



Recommended Posts

I still have a ways to go, but I wad curious as to cost of the surgery. I have always promised myself when I lose weight I will fix my boobs. They lie flat against my chest. So I definitely need a lift, not sure if they can fix them without putting in implants or not. Also I am working out a lot but I have a feeling the skin on my lower abdomen is still going to hang. Those are the 2 things that I probably will get done. So how much wlll that cost about? Ive read you can sometimes get the lower abdomen covered by insurance if you have rashes or something. But let's say I have to pay out of pocket, what would it cost?

It depends on where you are/ where you get the surgery. I live in Korea so far from others but a Tummy Tuck is 5,000 US here and a lift ( no implants) is 3or 4,000 US ( I cant remember).

Places in North America are usually more so sometimes people go to Mexico where it is cheaper ( Less than 10,000 US).

The best advice I can give is wait ATLEAST a year before doing anything. I only waited 6 months before my tuck and kind of regret it because I see how much my body has changed since then and now I am not considering as many surgeries as I was before ( my boobs were terrible and now not so bad they have changed so much!)

Hi:

Location, location, location. It really makes a big difference. My Tummy Tuck was $21k, but luckily insurance covered 2/3 of the cost because of a medically necessary panniculectomy being covered. I paid the difference to upgrade to a tummy tuck. Very happy with the results.

I'm in the Boston area where medical costs are very high.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

Hey Sue,

I'm in Boston too. Wondering where you went? I am far from a time of new surgery but just wondering, because I often think of the the boobs and the pouch below the belly and wondering what these will look like in the months to come...

If you go to my profile page and look at my pics you'll see what I looked like after losing 150 pounds. I'm about 10 pounds heavier than I was then, but you'll get the basic idea on how a lower belly looks after losing alot of weight.

Good luck to you.

Sue

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
