Costs for Surgery

It all depends on what surgery is right for you. In general, a straight forward breast augmentation will range from $6,000-$8,000. Silicone implants are more expensive than saline. If more than an augmentation is required, such as a lift witht implants, then costs will be higher. Tummy tucks can range from $8,000 to $12,000. Again this depends on the difficulty of the procedure (hernia repairs, additional liposuction, etc) and how long the procedure will... more

Cost for breast augmentation

The cost for breast augmentation will vary greatly depending on surgeon and location. The total cost including implants, operating room fees, and anesthesia can cost $9000 in expensive areas such as New York City but may be significantly less in less expensive areas. Remember - you get what you pay for so be careful of very low prices! Make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon and ASPS member. Stay in the USA for your own safety.

Out of town surgery

This is a very difficult question to answer. There are so many variables. How far are you traveling? How long is your post op stay and what are accommodation costs? What surgery are you a candidate for? How long will you be in the operating room under anesthesia? The best advice is to find a surgeon and ask them this question for a more accurate money amount.

Cost for having surgery out of town

Traveling for surgery is not so "uncommon" now a days. You have to take into consideration the cost of the procedures that you are having performed as well as the travel, hotel, etc.. for staying in town. Each surgeon has their own recommendations for how long you should stay - which may be at longer due to the fact that you want to have abdominoplasty surgery.

Out of town surgery costs.

It's funny--we surgeons pretty uniformly decry surgical tourism (especially out-of-country) but we (mostly) accept patients from areas outside our immediate metropolitan locations. I have operated on patients from Alaska, Canada, Japan, Thailand, Kuwait, and many U.S. states, as well as many rural Minnesota communities. But I don't recommend it unless you have the resources and time to stay in touch with the surgeon who does the work, and can deal with any difficulties. We all... more

Expenses can easily increase for out of state surgery

While making the decision to undergo a procedure by a plastic surgeon out of your area of state, there are several things you should consider and discuss with your surgeon. Consider the potential of either a minor or major complication and how that might affect your hospital care, insurance, and traveling expenses. Discuss with your surgeon who and when you'll be taken care of when you arrive home. You postoperative care should be just as complete and consistent as it would be by your... more

Out of town or out of country. be careful. sometimes saving some money will lead you down a path of repeated surgeries to correct deformities created with the first procedure. within the united states costs vary based on location. look carefully for a board certified plastic surgeon before proceeding. do your homework. this is your body.

Out Of Town Augmentation & Tummy Tuck

The cost of your out of town augmentation and timmy tuck will vary depending upon the area of the country in which you choose to have the procedures performed. You should ask the surgeon whom you choose for an estimate of the total cost. You should also factor in an expenditure for a stay-over for a few a days in a hotel,etc. since your surgeon will probably be uncomfortable operating on you without your staying in the community for several days post-operatively. more

Cost for TT and Breast Aug

Dear Transformingmyself, Out of town or out of the country ... big difference. I know Deluth, Ga. and I can understand your need to leave town. However, do not get duped into these exotic vacations to have your plastic surgery. The cost may and that is, a big, may be less. But the risks you take with your life and possible complications of your procedures are not worth it. Let say your tummy tuck gets infected when you get home from surgery. No plastic surgeon will want to... more

You can most likely get a quote from your surgeon who is out of town. The fee is usually about $10,000 for both and there will be the cost of hotel, travel and prescriptions to include. Good luck!
