Answer: Circumferential tummy tuck Hi. I would caution you against going for the cheapest you can find. You should factor in distance from your surgeon, as that will impact your follow-up care. If you are within reasonable driving distance, for instance, that lends itself to appropriate follow-up care and appointments, etc. If you have to fly back to see your surgeon, that presents challenges and significant expense. I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to go over the options. I would be happy to see you in consultation if that would be helpful. Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell

Answer: Abdominoplasty The best way to answer that question is to randomly call some surgeons in cities you are considering, and check prices. After getting 3 or 4 reasonable quotes, make sure you do your research of the surgeon. As a starting point, in Columbia, S.C. we charge $8600 for an extended abdominoplasty, and a circumferential I think is $10,600 for everything, but you can call my office and they will give you exact prices.Good luck,Greg Sexton, M.D.Columbia, S.C.803 252-6222

Answer: Lowest cost surgery Cost is obviously always a factor when considering an elective cosmetic procedure. However it should not be the deciding factor. It always amazes me that people will spend $40,000 on a car without thinking twice, yet they will try to penny pinch when it comes to selecting a surgeon to perform a major operation that will have life long lasting effects on their body. There are many plastic surgery "bargains "out there. I'm sure you can find a gynecologist or a dentist to do your circumferential body lift if you look hard enough. You can also travel to a third world country to have a practitioner with unknown credentials do your surgery. These are all options for you. Traveling out of the city for your surgery also has added risks. You will not be near your surgeon for follow-up appointments. It will be inconvenient for you to be evaluated if you have complications. You may also have to rely on other surgeons who did not do your surgery to manage these complications. In many cases, this can cost even more money in the long run.Do yourself a favor. Seek a consultation from an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. These are the highest trained physicians who will give you the best chance of having a successful outcome. Yes you have to be comfortable with the price. However if the price is not right at this time it will likely be better for you to simply wait until you have a little bit more money to have the procedure done. There are many payment plan options available in most plastic surgeon's offices. Best wishes to you!

Answer: What U.S. city offers the most affordable plastic surgery? Thank you for the question. There are many advantages of staying local, if at all possible, when undergoing surgery. Close followup and/or management of any complications that may arise important part of the process.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.In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
