Thank you so much who have answered my question. And since one doctor told me his price is $7400 I'd like to know how much your price cost for my tummy tuck. A doctor said because my belly is high I might have to do a vertical thingy? Can I ask what that is and do I have to get it?

To do my tummy tuck but their prices are over my budget
