Cheap tummy tuck = bad tummy tuck

A tummy tuck is a procedure with risks and you will see many examples of poor tummy tucks in the questions on RS. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can have a great result for a cheap price. The best plan is to dedicate to saving for the right doctor in NY who will help you get the best result safely! Remember that needing to revise a poor result is much more expensive that getting it right in the first place and sometimes the revision can't even be done. more

University programs offer discounted tummy tucks with quality and safety.

The best way to get a high quality tummy tuck at a reduced price is to visit on of the university plastic surgery programs and sign up on the residents schedule.

Cheap Tummy Tuck?

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. Check with the American Board of Plastic Surgeons and/or and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for appropriate training and credentials. Then, make sure you see lots... more

4-6 thousand dollar tummy tuck in NY

I don't know of anybody that will do that in NY for that price. You must take into accound the region that you're having this surgery done. Ultimately if you can't afford to have plastic surgery maybe you should save up until you can. Remember that cosmetassure will be offered by some and it can help in case anything were to happen unexpectedly after surgery and they will help cover the cost of it. Prior to surgery it's a minimal expense and... more

Tummy Tuck on a Budget

If you are going to proceed with elective cosmetic surgery, you owe it to yourself to seek out the best result. I would not proceed with surgery if you cannot afford to have it performed by a trained professional. The cost of a cosmetic surgery complication can have lasting financial burden. I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and see if you are a candidate for healthcare financing. If you do not... more

Be careful what you wish for. You may get what you pay for and then pay alot more if possible to fix the problem. Find a good plastic surgeon and pay the fee for quality work. Good luck.

If you add your name to the waiting list at one of the teaching facilities, you'll be waiting for years. I could never afford the plastic surgery prices in the USA. What I did was pick a few overseas physician's from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and e-mailed a photo and asked for a price. After I had my child, I too needed a tummy tuck and learned my plastic surgeon in Israel died. I found and chose a board certified physician with ISAPS in Bulgaria; I not only got a tummy tuck ($3,300) there, but visited a dentist and had some teeth fixed at a fraction of what it would cost me here. If you want liposuction, there's a place in Las Vegas that does wonderful work and does a whole area for $1300. Don't pay a bundle of money when you walk an extra block and keep more stash in your pocket. I wish you luck!
