Discounted Lipo & Tummy Tuck

The cost in Louisville for a tummy tuck with lipo exceeds $4,500 and the costs in Philadelphia are I am sure generally a good bit more. Your best bet if you are unwilling or unable to spend more would be to see if there is a Resident's Clinic at UPenn or one of the other area training programs.

Some surgeons offer professional discounts. However, you should not risk safety or quality for a relatively small savings. Check the ASPS website for qualified board certified plastic surgeons. Consult with 5 - 6 in your area to find one that best meets your needs.

Tummy Tuck Costs?

Thank you for the question. You will find that the cost of surgery will vary significantly even in the same town. Although important, ultimately the cost of surgery should be of less concern than the quality and safety of the procedure performed. In other words, do your due diligence carefully.

Tummy tuck fees

I would say that the fee you mention would be quite low in NYC. Remember sometimes what you pay for is what you get, and you may end up paying more in the long run for repairs.

Tummy Tuck Fees?

Fees. Think about what has to be paid for to accomplish what you want. Once you price in the cost of anaesthesia, monitors and equipment, the surgery and aftercare, as well as the facility, the cost has to be much higher than the number you mentioned. The quality of the facility, the equipment available, the emergency systems in place, and the regular inspection, repair, and maintenance of any reputable facility costs money. If... more

Tummy tuck and lipo in the Philadelphia area

It's difficult to give you the exact price for what you desire without actually seeing you. Liposuction costs vary based on the amount done and areas treated. Your abdomen may only require a mini tummy tuck which is much less than a full tummy tuck. A photo will give me a general idea of what you'd like and I can then give you the costs involved. We are located in Baltimore, about 2 hours from Philadelphia, phone number (410) 902-9800. more

Lipo/tummy tuck prices

Hi there. It's difficult to answer your question without a physical exam. You also don't mention if your price of $4500 includes anesthesia and facility fee.

The cost of anesthesia and facility fee alone for 2.5-3 hrs... more
