There are great teaching programs in Chicago that may have resident's clinic. I am certain that if you have a tummy tuck through a residency/fellowship program there will be attending physician supervision.

Discounted Plastic Surgery
Northwestern has a reputable plastic surgery program and will surely provide you with a discounted rate through the residency program. I recommend that you explore the option of healthcare financing and consider saving money for the experience of a board certified plastic surgeon. Depending on the level of supervision, you could have a great result or a subpar result.
I wish you a safe and healthy recovery.h

I would seriously consider if you truly want to have surgery by a surgeon who offers 'discounted" procedures. This is your body. Experience speaks volumes when choosing a surgeon. Contact a reputable Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and ask about fee schedules and payment options. You deserve only the best.
