Hello all...I am about a year and a half with the lap band and after weight loss, dieting, and exercising I think it may be time to look into a tummy tuck and a breast lift. I am curious to know if anyone knows any good plastic surgeons in the mass/nh/ri area. Also, what is the typical price range for these procedures? Is this tax deductable at all? Reall I would appreciate any advice or help in this area, thanks

I am still looking at prices but my understanding is that if you can get your doctor to state that this is being done for a medical reason that it ABSOLUTELY is tax deductible. I was a self pay for the band and got to deduct all of the bills for that and I got back a chunk of change. Now it was NO WHERE near what I paid for the surgery but it did help the blow a little bit.

I originally went through an internet site that guaranteed financing but the doc that went through the program is too far away from where I live, but if you live close to a big city that is an option. PM me if you want the website.
