Consult for tt

Hello everyone. I went Monday for a consult for a tummy tuck. Well I will be going to more doctors. The quote was 14,000. I was very upset and down on myself. But friends told me don't stop at the first dr. So will be calling others :)

  • That's very high. I have a breast lift and augmentation, full tummy tuck, and lipo on my thighs, lower back, and flanks scheduled for next month and it cost 20K for one of the top doctors in FL. Kee

Try Dr. Joseph Capella in Ramsey, NJ if you can get here. I've read on various plastic surgery review forums that he charges $20,000 for an entire body lift, and I think much less for just a tummy tuck. Plus he's pretty much the top doctor in the country for post-bariatric body contouring so you'll get good results. :)

That seems kinda high to me. I had an extended tummy tuck, he did my flanks as well, breast lift with implants and brachioplasty... All for $18,220. I live in Virginia and I know prices vary by regions but my surgeon was one of the best in the area who also specializes in weight loss reconstruction. I would get other consults before I committed to that price.

That seems very high. I would keep looking.

Hello....I had 10 consults before I decided on my surgeon....check out realself.com where you can read up on these surgeons and compare pictures and prices...That's where I found my Doctor....

What part of Virginia is your plastic surgeon in?

Hampton Roads area. They have an office in Williamsburg, Newport News and Hampton

Yes,It is a good idea to take a second or maybe even a third opinion.You might just be able to get the quotes for the surgery that you are looking for.It is always better to go into the surgery with a positive and sure mind,it is only then will you be able to know who is the best surgeon for you in all respects.

Keep looking- you will absolutely find something more realistic. My TT price alone was about 12K before adding in the discounts for multiple surgeries.

Who was your plastic surgeon?

Who was your surgeon?

Ladies, if you are happy with your plastic surgeon why not state his/her name so others might go to them for a consult? It seems to me that it would be very helpful.

Here is what I paid all inclusive for my surgeries in 2013:

Tummy tuck $7k

Convert TT to LBL, extended arm lift, breast lift, inner thigh lift $18,000

Dr. Joseph F. Capella, Capella Plastic Surgery, Ramsey NJ

Facial plastic surgery $14,800

Face lift, neck lift, smas to tear troughs, chin implant, lip lift, upper eye lid lift, cut the muscle between my eye brows, filler

Dr. Catherine Winslow, Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery, Carmel IN
