I would say that depends on what type of breast lift and tummy tuck. The general public gives more thought to buying a computer than getting plastic surgery. When you buy a computer you pick the model and features/software then you shop around for the best price. You even do this online on your current computer. If it doesn't work out you can always just return the computer and get your money back in which case you end up where you started. If you apply that reasoning to plastic surgery you would choose a procedure on your own and then shop around for the price and pick the best price. That is the way we have been trained to be consumers in this culture. However, that way of approaching plastic surgery is a loaded weapon that can explode on you. Plastic surgery is a service not a product so if you do not like it or have a problem you cannot give it back and get your money back. You also cannot ever end up where you started. What is more if you have a problem it may not be reversible or may incur additional costs to fix.

The priorities should be safety, results and value (not price) in that specific order and not price as the first and foremost. The way to go about that is to present yourself to one or more plastic surgeons with specific complaint(s) such as sagging breasts with nipples at different levels, abdominal skin hanging over the belly button etc. Then find out what type of procedure(s) would best keeping in mind that there is more than 1 type of breast lift etc. and that 2 different surgeons may obtain similar results with different approaches. Then decide on a couple of safe surgeons, operating facilities and procedures and finally then compare prices between surgeons/procedures and the value of each i.e. what do you get for each dollar spent.

It is not unreasonable to see a physician before getting a price quote. No contractor would quote me a price for redoing my kitchen without seeing it and getting some idea of the work involved. Frequently more than a single surgical technique is available & the physician can only choose which would be best after a face to face examination. First the physician should talk to you. A physical examination follows & then a diagnosis of the problem followed by a plan of action. Then comes a cost quote. No one should want surgery from someone who mixes up this order.
 

A rough range is $10,000-20,000 - but will vary based on location, surgeon experience, operating facility fees, and the type of lift. Your best bet is to schedule consultations with several surgeons in your area. While cost is always part of the equation, make sure you choose a safe and well trained surgeon to protect your investment and love your result.

         Breast lifts and tummy tucks are frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures that are associated with high rates of patient satisfaction. Prices vary widely, and depend on several variables. It’s important to make sure the fee quote includes the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthesia charges and pre and post operative care. Each of these components may vary widely depending upon the surgeons practice.

 

         Generally, surgeons who operate in dedicated outpatient cosmetic surgery centers are able to offer lower facility fees than those who operate in hospitals. The surgeon’s fee can vary depending on regional differences and levels of local competition. Anesthesia fees can vary and this may be related to the use of a nurse anesthetist verses a physician anesthesiologist.

 

         When all these variables are considered, fees in the Midwestern United States for breast lift combined with abdominoplasty vary between $8,000 and $10,000. It’s important to remember that although price is an important component of your decision, it’s not the only consideration. Make sure that your plastic surgeon is board certified and has appropriate qualifications and experience. 

Often the amount of time spent in the O.R. determines the price.  This may translate into how many areas of procedures you are doing, (time for each area to be completed).  Surgery prices will vary from city to city and surgeon to surgeon.  There are many variables in price.  Often these variables are not in the control of the surgeon, (O.R. fee, anesthesia fee, supplies, etc).  Beware of bargain basement pricing.  Cheap can become expensive quickly.  Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon.  Together you should be able to find a plan that is safe and effective.
