What is an estimation of the cost of a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation at LSU school of Plastic Sugery?

Question

I have a consultation scheduled in a couple of months but I am anxious to know what I'll be looking at as far as the cost.

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.
Again, 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.

It is impossible to estimate the cost of your procedures
without the surgeon actually examining you, so you would have to be seen at
this particular institution in order to get the answer you are looking
for. Having said that, keep in mind that
having surgery by providers who are in training may produce a significantly
different result than having surgery by a board-certified plastic surgeon who
is well experienced and fellowship trained in the area of expertise needed in
order to produce your best possible result. I always recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon for your
best possible result.

It is my pleasure to answer your question. Usually the quote for tummy tuck at a school of plastic surgery is less than private. You will have to wait for your consultation so they can give you cost.
