How much does skin removal surgery cost? (Photos)

Hi BRENDEE5050,I dedicate the majority of my practice to AWL patients, I'm an AWL patient my self, therefore I perfectly understand the needs related to enhancing our appearance and therefore I created a combination of procedures that in my opinion maximizes the aesthetic results that can be achieved in one surgery under safe parameters. I call it Royal Body Lift includes skin resection, muscle repair, liposuction to waist and love handles, buttocks lift, outer thigh lift, fat transfer to hips and buttocks and pubic correction. The average cost in my hands including 6 nights of recovery stay with nurse care is $10,500 usd, the first step is to request a consultation so that we can determine if you are candidate for this procedure. Dr. C

Congratulations on your 115 pounds weight loss!  Cost varies on many different factors, such as, how much excess skin you have, combining surgeries, where you have surgery, and insurance coverage.  It is important to find a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in weight loss patients.  After the consultation with the plastic surgeon, you should be able to obtain an exact quote with breakdowns of how much the surgeries would cost.  Good luck on your next stage of weight loss journey.

Great Question!In our practice after weight loss surgery can vary. It is best and recommended to split up those procedures and have two surgeries as it would be too much at one time on the boyd. Total surgery pricing can range anywhere from $15,000-$25,000. You will receive an exact quote at your consultation but these prices vary case by case.I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to find out what is best for you moving forward.Best Wishes!

Congratulations on your weight loss, BRENDEE5050!
The cost of skin removal or body lift surgery depends on several factors, such as the extent of surgery, skill and experience of your plastic surgeon, and even where you’re getting your surgery.
For instance, if you want to get surgery in Jacksonville, that would cost you an average of $15,000, according to RealSelf figures. But if you get it in Miami where there are more plastic surgery clinics to choose from, you can trim the cost down to $9,000.
Those are just average prices. The best thing to do is to consult a reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon so that you can ask for a more personalized quotation.
Best of luck!
