My sister just had her tummy tuck, breast augmentation and liposuction done in Utah. Was self pay at $15000. Same Surgeon did my other sister's TT and thighs.they were both happy with surgeon Dr. Crofts. But my sister that just had it had complications...esophagitis and had to be rehospitalized and ended up with a staph infection too. Fortunately, her insurance covered the second stay and had only copays. I'm guessing another thousand or so. She's doing and looking great now.

I'm having brachioplasty, and breast lift done next month sometime for $5700 here in Houston, TX. I've also asked about the 360 lower body lift and leg lift also. Total for everything is going to be just under $17,000!

His name is Dr Freet. He assist his residency students in the surgery. The ones he currently has have been in cosmetic residency for 8 years and are graduating in the next few months.

As i wrote, i went to Havana , Cuba for all my plastic surgeries not in Canada. Canada is very expensives and i preferded Cuba because the doctors are very muticulus and ther prices are unbeattables.

I add the price list of the clinic : Cira Garcia international clinic, Havana, Cuba

I unexpectedly had to postpone my surgery. This was on my end and I'm hoping to reschedule for around September.

I'm using Dr. Capella, his office is in Ramsey, NJ. He does his surgeries at Hackensack Medical Center.

He and his office staff have been great to work with so far!

I'm on schedule to have an extended tummy tuck and breast augmentation on May 2nd, 2016 in Bal Harbour, Fl by Dr Michael Salzhauer. He's also know as "The Real Dr Miami". I'm paid in full and all medical clearances provided. Already have my post procedure meds and people lined up to care for me. I'm spoiled and blessed that I work in a hospital, so I have a menagerie of people ready to help me afterwards. Including physicians and nurses. 14 days and a wake up!!!!

I'm having an extended tummy tuck and breast augmentation with the "real Dr Miami" on May 2nd in Bal Harbour, FL. Cost is about $12,000. All out of pocket. But because it's medically necessary I have FSA paying part of it. Just needed a letter from my doc staying medical necessity. Hope that helps. I will post pics.

Highest weight: 350 (but my scale only went that high. Lost weight for surgery. )

Current weight: 195.

I'm also 6 feet tall and carry a lot of muscle from weight lifting and having been an athlete most of my life.

How is it a medical necessity?I would like to know for insurance purposes

I have degenerative disc disease in my lower spine. The weight of the skin pulls on it and exacerbates it. Plus the excess skin creates folds where rashes occur and causes skin breakdown.

I'm going to be honest and insurance will very likely not pay for it. Mine won't. Not even my new one. But the medical necessity part covers me to be out on FMLA so that my job is protected. Just in case there are complications.
