Do Upper abs and Lower abs have a separate cost or are they both one price? (Photo)

You are absolutely right that prices and pricing will vary from one practice to another. Reputable surgeons will usually consider the area or aesthetic unit as a whole and recommend what they believe will give you the best outcome. You should certainly discuss these questions with your surgeon before the procedure to help make sure that you will be happy with the results after the procedure. 

In my practice we separate areas. So in your case, I would specify upper abds, lower abds, flanks, waist as "4" areas. Thus fee range from $4,000 to $6,000 depending on amount of fat present/and surgical time... 

Typically we charge the lower and upper abdomen together because to get a good result, I find that they coincide together rather than apart. Flanks are always a separate charge, but when a patient signs up for multiple procedures the secondary procedures are at a discounted price.Thank you for your question and be sure to check with our surgeons office so you can settle this before your surgery!Melinda Lacerna, MD, FACS

on a question like this I can only answer for myself.with the abdomen we tend to charge a separate fee for upper and lower but depending on the volume that could change. This operation tends to be more cost effective as you do multiple areas.here I think I can speak for other people in that as we do several areas together the cost per area Goes Down.looking at your photos you should get a good result with this. Good luck.
