Are there any plastic surgery schools near Norfolk, Va or Hampton Roads that off discount plastic surgery? I have 5 kids, amazing shape, just looking to have tummy tuck & breast aug due to multiple births.

Although I understand that plastic surgeons, including myself, need to train somewhere, I would suggest that you do not make yourself a “subject” for breast augmentation/ tummy tuck surgery. Ultimately, you should keep the final goal in mind;  achieving the results you wish with breast surgery as safely and complication free as possible. I would suggest, instead that you slowly save up for this elective procedure. When the time is right from the physical, emotional, psychosocial, and financial standpoints, find the best plastic surgeon you can  to perform the procedure for you.When it comes to choosing a plastic surgeon I generally advise that patients start with the American 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.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.  Make your decisions carefully when it comes to selection of your plastic surgeon;  although no surgeon is perfect and every plastic surgeon has complications that require revisionary surgery,    revisionary surgery rates may vary from one surgeon to another. Also, remember that if revisionary surgery does become necessary,  it may be more expensive in many ways. Therefore, do not to make your decisions based on financial considerations primarily.I hope this helps.

You sound like the perfect candiate for a mommy makeover. If you're willing to travel medical tourism is an attractive way to get quality results at a lower price. Cosmetic surgery in Colombia represents an increasingly attractive option for consumers looking for the ultimate combination of quality, price, availability, service, enjoyment, and value. Prices for plastic surgery procedures can be very affordable, and often 30-50% less than in the United States and Europe. However, when considering this option don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Thank you for your question. There are no plastic surgery training programs and the Hampton Roads area. Even if there was having gone through training program sometimes a discounts are not worth the little bit of money in my save.  Most important should be your comfort level with the surgeon and their experience. When you do tell me talk and augmentation together there's usually a discount for the second procedure.

Unfortunately, there aren't any resident clinics in the Hampton Roads area.Having graduated from the VCU (previously MCV) plastic surgery program they did offer a residency cosmetic discount program. You would need to call the Department of Plastic Surgery to see if it is still an option. Finding out costs is important because sometimes the discount may or may not be worth it given your time spent on appointments,travel,etc.

Congratulations on your family.   Unfortunately, there are no plastic surgery schools in the Norfolk, Tidewater area of VA.  Your best potential options would be to check into the "resident cosmetic clinics" at Virginia Commonwealth in Richmond or at UVa in Charlottesville.
