Doctor quoted $14,000 for tummy tuck and lipo of the love handles and thighs. From our research this seems way over the top of the average price. I am in Maine. Please advise me if I should find a different doctor, or maybe ask why the quote was so high.
Answer: Price Varies by doctor and region Just a routine tummy tuck with the included modest lipo of waist would be about $7700 in my practice. If you added inner and outer thigh lipo and full waist so we needed to flip you during surgery then the price of 14 is about right. Might want to just do tummy tuck if that is better for the budget. Good Luck!

Answer: Is this price too high for tummy tuck and liposuction If you are concerned your quote is too high, I suggest finding another board certified plastic surgeon nearby for another opinion and quote. Prices will vary by region and within each region, they will vary by surgeon. In remote areas where there are fewer providers, prices may be higher.

Answer: Pricing The fees quoted are not excessive by any means. For these procedures, there are various factors in pricing. The operating room, anesthesia, doctor fees, are all part of how a surgery fee is calculated. If you feel comfortable with the physician and would like to proceed with surgery, you may want to discuss any promotions or discounts with his consultant. It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has extensive experience in tummy tuck / abdominoplasty. I wish you the best. Dr. Gabbay.

Answer: Tummy Tuck costs You will find that costs vary by region of the country and from surgeon to surgeon. In my area that combination could range from $10k to $12k depending on many variables. If you think the price is high then get a second opinion from another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: $14,000 for Tummy tuck and Lipo quote??? Doesn't this seem high? 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… 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.
