So far I have had 2 quotes from surgeons that I was referred to by friends. One was for 11000 for both TT and lipo and the other for 8000. I will be paying cash instead of financing but my budget will allow for 7500.I will be bringing them more business from myself and from friends I work with in the hospital. Should I try negotiating the price?
Answer: Average cost for a tummy tuck with Liposuction in #Charlotte NC? Thank you for your question! The expense of surgery includes multiple factors. The surgeon's fee, operating room fees, anesthesia fees, overnight fees, and garment fees. The added liposuction adds time to the surgery which increases the fees directly related to the additional time. Some surgeons have a nurse stay with the patient overnight or admit the patient to the hospital overnight for a 23 hour observation for further monitoring. This will increase the fees, yet is an additional safety measure for the patient. I suspect the overall cost ranges from $9,000 to $15,000.

Answer: How much is the average tummy tuck Thank you for the question. When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Cost Thank you for your question.The cost of a #tummytuck, #abdominoplasty, will vary based on many factors. There is the variable fee that comes directly from your surgeon for the procedure. You also need to remember that the fees for the facility, anesthesia, and any possible extra medical facility costs or potential overnight stay could add a great deal that you were not expecting going into the operating room. Always make sure that you are speaking to board-certified surgeons when getting quotes, and make sure that you get all of the details of what is including in the actual quote being provided. That will help you prepare for how much is already included from the doctor and aware of what may add to the bill when not already included in the surgeon’s quote.

Answer: Surgery costs You should negotiate for a lesser price. You shouldn't negotiate for a lesser surgeon!Consider having surgery outside of the city in a neighboring market. You will often find excellent surgeeons that charge less, due to less overhead costs.

Answer: Tummy tuck costs Both of these price quotes seem like in the typical range for abdominoplasty plus liposuction for your area. RealSelf actually has good tools to check on average costs. Many things factor into the cost of surgery, including a surgeon's expertise and experience, your particular surgical needs, overhead costs of the OR and supplies, and Anesthesia costs. Going with the best "deal" by price won't always result in the best choice. This is your body we're talking about! Find a surgeon that you feel like you can trust. Sometimes its worth waiting to save more to get the operation you really want in the long run. In terms of negotiating, it never hurts to ask; but don't be surprised if you get turned down. Good luck!
