I need a tummy tuck really bad and I was wondering if it's impossible to find someone to do it for $5k in the Chicago area.

The cost will depend upon the type of tummy tuck, anesthesia, and skill
related to the experience of the surgeon. There’ll be regional differences.
Approximate costs can be found on real self, and other websites such as the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery. The cost will depend upon the type of tummy tuck, anesthesia,

Chicago tummy tuck costs seem to vary from $6000 to $12000.  It is best
to discuss your desires with your plastic surgeon to ensure all of your needs
are met. 
Payment plans can be offered through Care Credit, local banks, credit cards,
and other companies such as Prosper.Some plans have 12-18 months interest free.

Thanks for the question. When it comes to costs 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,  type of breast implants… are some of the potential variables involved.  You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well.
 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.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.  I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

An in-person exam with a
board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and
provide true medical advice.
