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 :)

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.

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.

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

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

      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
