Total Body Lift Cost = surgical fee + anesthesia + facility

Keep in mind that the lower body lift procedure includes a full tummy tuck, an outer thigh lift, and a posterior buttock lift. The three procedures are performed in the same operative session and the entire surgical session is approximately 8-9 hours. Total cost to have this procedure performed in my AAAASF accredited out-patient surgical center is approximately $18K-$19K. Total cost = surgical fee + anesthesia + facility Total cost will vary slightly and will be determined after your... more

Cost for lower Body Lift

Thank you for your question. Each surgeon’s fees will be different depending on many factors. Factors such as exactly what procedures are performed, the certification of the surgeon, the experience of the surgeon, if the surgery is performed in the office or in a hospital / outpatient surgery center, what type of anesthesia and who is administering the anesthesia (MD vs. Nurse). Don’t choose your surgeon ONLY by price, make sure they can achieve... more

Body lift cost

The fee for a body lift vaires around the country, and so in NYC the fee range would probably run between $12002-$20,000 for the surgeon's fee.

Make SURE you're getting the TOTAL cost!

You are wise to assume that insurance will not cover body lift surgery (see my answer to "When is body lift surgery covered by insurance?"). You should also make sure to compare just what "full body lift" consists of, as this will vary with each patient, the amount and distribution of the loose skin, and the exact details of the planned surgical procedure. Not all "full body lifts" are the same! Also, make sure your cost quote considers not just the... more

Body Lift Pricing

All patients are concerned with the cost of elective surgery. There are a number of factors that affect the cost of a body lift. First, will the body lift include a tummy tuck, or is it limited to buttocks and thighs. Second, the cost of the surgery center and hospitalization, if needed. The other factors include surgeons reputation and expertise, and other competitive factors. In my practice we charge 10-12 K for a body lift without a tummy tuck, and 18-22 K for a body lift with a... more

Body Lift

It really depends on who does the surgery for you. Plastic surgery is an art and you will have to pay higher for quality work and your Plastic Surgeon's expertise. My lower body lift includes a circumferential tummy tuck, outer thigh lift, monsplasty, buttock lift, buttock augmentation with your own tissue. This will cost about 22000 inclusive of anesthesia and operating room expenses.

Bodylifts are extensive surgeries

Body lifts are a combination of an abdominoplasty, thigh lifts and buttock lifts in one operation. It also usually includes liposuction and possibly a buttock augmentation at the same time. In my practice, the fee, which is roughly $18,000, includes the surgeons fee, operating room fee, anesthesia fee and garments. This is a a 5-6 hour operation. Be cautious of too cheap a price!

Insurance could help with body lift cost

First, some cases could be covered by your inssurance company. It does not happen in all cases and depends on your inssurance policy mainly, The cost of your procedure will depend a lot on the amount of time neededd to perform the procedure. In our facility, the team (anesthesia, nurses, etc.) became very familiar with the procedure that we could perform a lower body lift in 4 hours or so. This becomes a huge a cost benefit and also a better recovery. The average cost is around $15k.... more

Cost of Body Lift

The costs for all aestetic procedures vary widely. The total cost of a body lift performed by a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon would be several thousand dollars more in New York or LA compared to Louisville or Cincinnati. This is a procedure requiring 1-3 days of hospitalization which adds to the cost.

The Cost Varies

I include a tummy tuck, pubic lift, hip lift, buttock lift, and all liposuction in my lower body lifts.  My preference is to keep my patients in a full hospital (it's a speciality hospital with private rooms) and the cost of all that is around $20k here in Texas.

Body lift price will vary

As with all asethetic surgery fees, the price will vary. Although not always true, the best doctors usually are at the top of the price range. You won't ever get the best doctor and surgeon at the lowest price. Call Dr. Dennis Hurwitz's office in Pittsburgh for pricing. He is a leading expert in this arena.
