Are There Any Plastic Surgery Schools That Offer a Discount on Tummy Tucks Near Atlanta?

As suggested below, Emory university has a great plastic surgery residency training program. Consider contacting the plastic surgery department there and inquiring into plastic surgery in their resident's clinic.

Although I am a clinical professor of plastic surgery at Emory, I don't know if they have a resident's clinic.  I suspect that they do.  To find out, call the office of Dr. Grant Carlson at Emory and inquire.  You probably would have to go to Grady Hospital for the surgery. 

I agree that Emory would be the first place to start.  They have an excellent training program, and I am sure there resident clinic is supervised by the attending staff.

Beware of discounted Plastic Surgery. Do you want a student doing your cosmetic surgery? You get what you pay for. If you don't have the finances, wait until you do. What if you suffer a complication or need a revision? You are financially responsible for that. I would recommend only a board certified plastic surgeon. 

Thanks for writing,Try contacting a University Plastic Surgery training program. Usually a senior residents clinic will offer you a great supervised surgery at a great price. Good LuckStephen M.

 Yes, you will likely be able to find plastic surgery training programs where procedures can be done for less.  If I were you, I would want to have proof of your  plastic surgeon's experience level; ask to see lots of examples of his work and speak to previous patients who have had surgery with him.Be careful with your decision-making; undoubtedly, the most important decision you make in this regard will be selection ofplastic surgeon. Remember, if cost savings are an issue, that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.Best wishes.

The cost for tummy tuck like other cosmetic surgery varies considerably across the country and even in the same area. South Florida tends to have lower fees then more expensive areas such as New York or Los Angeles. We charge starting at $4000 + MD Anesthesia related expenses for a modified tummy tuck. With a complete tummy tuck being more. Since you can get quality work at lower costs, patients will travel from throughout the state, the country, and internationally to have surgery in South Florida. To ensure that you are receiving quality work with personalized care at the most cost effective prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that own their own nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained at the highest level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have incentive to hire and train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient and enjoyable), to ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage referral), and to eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete effectively).

If you want to see if a residency program offers a "residents clinic" I would check to see what medical schools in your area have a  plastic surgery program,call them and see what they might require to become a patient.There probably would be soem charges.Also inquire to see if the residents are supervised.

I would contact the local university to see if there is a resident clinic.  Look at Emory.

The vast majority of university training programs in Plastic Surgery have a Residents' Clinic where the fees are discounted to attract more price conscious people.
Emory University has a long tradition of Plastic Surgery excellence and I would be very confident that you could not do better than their residents' clinic.

Good Luck.
