Can anyone tell me how much to do a tummy tuck? I know that there are probably alot of variables, but maybe a ballpark figure. Also, does anyone know of somewhere that offers cheap but safe surgeries? I researched a surgeon for my lapband and found Dr. Kirshenbaum on this site and I flew to Denver in July. He was wonderful. Now I would like to start searching for plastic surgeons. I have lost 70 pounds and still have about 60 to lose but I want to start looking now.

Thanks.

Well, I went yesterday for my second consultation...I added some things that I want done. I initially wanted a tummy tuck and inner thigh tuck. I'm going to have a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. I'm scheduled for April 14. The total for everything, including hospital stay, fees, implants, everything is just about $19,000. I will be paying for everything myself but I know it's so worth it. It also includes all follow-up visits forever!!! Good luck (and wish me luck).

Yes Good Luck! You're already beautiful this is just going to be the icing on the cake!

Let us know how it goes! I'm halfway to goal. I have 260lbs to lose, I've lost 130. I need to have my pannus removed and I understand the insurance will pay for that. However, they won't pay for a Tummy Tuck. I wonder how difficult it would be to travel for my plastics.

I just had my first consultation and was quoted $9450 for an extended TT.

I'm looking at having my inner thighs and breasts done as well. I might combine one of those procedures with my TT if I can swing it. $$

Waiting to see if insurance will cover part of my TT. *fingers crossed*

Great information everyone I pray that I can afford this in the coming year.

I am also looking to get a lower body lift and some new girls. I am hoping to find it cheaper than my lapband cost me $18,500. I have two teenage daughters that start college this year uggh.. I don't want to wait 5 years for them to get my plastics done but as their mom I just can't see paying another almost twenty grand when that can go toward college. If I can find it for around 10 grand I think i can swing it! Does anyone know if the lower body lift includes a mons lift?

Mum of two boys.. good luck girl! You are gorgeous and you will be batting the men away!!!! congrats!

OK...my loan was direct deposited this morning. It's all getting real now. I'm getting nervous but so very excited. My friend is getting a lower body lift next week and it does include a mons lift. I didn't ask my surgeon about that but I will call his assist today and ask. I can't believe that it's less than two months away. Since I have the money in the bank I can get it done anytime now but I need to save leave at work. YIKES...

Congrats! I am so excited for you.

Congrats mum of 2!!!!! wooo hoo!!

regular tummy tuck 5,600- 7,000 depending on the surgeon and how bad the case is
