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. The residents are surgeons with 6 to 8 years of formal training after medical school and they are carefully surpervised throughout the USA. In New York, try the Columvba program, or New York University, or Mt Siani, etc etc...there are several others. Your will get quality and safely. more

The question is not to look for someone who can give you a cheap tummy tuck but who is qualified to perform a good tummy tuck safely. There is a program at NYEEI that offers affordable plastic surgery procedures. Good luck

Cheap Tummy Tuck in New York

New York City is a very expensive city. You may find a quality fit at a teaching hospital such as at Columbia, NYU, or Mt. Siani. Don't get trapped by unethical facilities.

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

Check for a board certified plastic surgeon.

You can check around at different board certified plastic surgeons by going to the ASPS website. If price is still an issue, you can check with plastic surgery colleges in your area. see video

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

Your best option is to look at the plastic surgery training programs in NY

The only option for the price range that you can afford is the plastic surgery training programs. These residents are supervised by well trained plastic surgeon and charge the discounted rate. No board certifed plastic surgeon will do your surgery for the amount.

Cheap tummy tuck--no problem!

I can probably find you any number of doctors who will do a tummy tuck for 6 thousand dollars. But how much are you willing to pay for the repair surgery, the skin graft after dead skin or belly button, and the time off work for another surgery to do it again--properly? I could also probably find you a cheap vacation in Mexico, a $20 dollar room in a hotel, and a $50 dollar Coach bag from Korea. You catch the drift here, I hope! This is a fool's errand. Remember that The... more

Cheap Tummy Tuck

You may find a "cosmetic surgeon" willing to do the procedure in your price range but be careful. In these difficult economic times, it is understandable, that finances are an important issue, however, the most important factors would involve finding a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in body-contouring surgery that you feel comfortable with.

Cheapest Tummy Tuck May Not be Best

I find it interesting that aesthetic surgery patients often seek out the least expensive provider. If you were having an open heart operation, you probably would not want the "cheapest surgeon". The market in NYC is quite expensive compared to here in the Midwest where you could probably obtain your tummy tuck at the upper end of your price range from a well-qualified plastic surgeon.
