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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
