Tummy tuck prices

Hi, depending upon which area of the country you are in, you may it very difficult to find a qualified plastic surgeon who will do your surgery for that price.

Cost of tummy tuck

I doubt you'll get Tummy Tuck with Hernia Repair for $4000 or less

Hello, When you go that low, you are in the bargain basement category in my region. Maybe you could go to a academic center (a plastic surgery residency program) and get one there for that price though.

Tummy Tuck with Hernia Repair for $4000.

It is not uncommon in this economy for patients to ask for cosmetic surgery at low or no cost. I can tell you that many of us still must take ER call at various hospitals in order to maintain privileges. Often the patients we are required to see have no insurance and thus cannot pay us. This is for traumatic injuries that require plastic surgery expertise. So you can imagine how we must feel when we're asked to perform cosmetic surgery at reduced rates. I appreciate the desire to... more
