Resident Hospital for Plastics



Recommended Posts

As of right now, I received quotes from two different surgeons for an arm lift. One was close to $15,000 and another was about $10,000. The Tummy Tuck for the higher end surgeon was in the $20k's and the lower end surgeon would give me a price right now.

I have read on other forums, a lot of people use resident hospitals for plastic surgery. They say it is 1/3 of the cost and that a board certified surgeon is present for the surgery and supervises the whole thing. I'm close to the NYC area which has excellent hospitals so I know I'd be in good hands. Anybody on here look into resident hospitals for their plastics? Resident hospital is looking better and better to me. 😉

Those prices make mine look like it was an absolute sale. My arms8600 LBL and BL 2400 and thigh lift 12500 or so. I chose a local MD He gets people from about the country for his work not prices. NJ is not too far out. Keep looking. For m experience and access were huge.

I’m starting my plastics consultations this week. I’m curious what my quotes will come in at.

But, IMO, the quality of work between a resident and an experienced surgeon is significantly different. Arm lifts are not Uber common, and as I understand pretty tricky.

The aesthetics of my surgery are very important to me (thin scars, natural looking belly button etc). I would not make any compromises in that area

Keep getting quotes. NYC has lots of options.

I would be scared to have residents do it, even if they were supervised. Those prices you got are crazyyyy. I thought mine were high! 6K for arm lift, 8k for Tummy Tuck. And then 5k for facility and anesthesia fees.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
