I'm a little late with this issue but I had a tummy tuck approx. 12yrs ago and have gained about 20lbs since then. I would like to know a general cost in the Memphis area to have the "dog ears" corrected. They have always been there but now they look worse. I'd like to have them numbed up in office, trimmed off, and stitched back up. lol I'm a tough cookie. :) Thank You p.s. Could I get the "dog ears" thrown in if I wanted upper arm lipo? Seriously I'm ready today.

Finding a surgeon near you.

I recommend you find an American Society of Plastic Surgeons member surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  To find a surgeon near you, please visit the ASPS website. I've placed the link below.  Best of the luck.

Excellent Surgeon in Memphis

I would not shop for the best price or deal when it comes to plastic surgery. You may have gotten a good deal 12 years ago when you had the first tummy tuck performed but did not get your dog ears taken care of at the time. Dr. Aldea is an excellent, knowledgeable and certified surgeon who can answer your questions and provide you with outstanding care. Call his office to set up a consultation to discuss your concerns.
