Should I Use a Teaching Hospital to Get a Cheaper Tummy Tuck?

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.

I recommend that prospective patients research facilities
with the ultimate goal to find a surgeon who will help yield the best results,
rather than one who will charge less. There are many surgeons who will provide competitive pricing, yet you may be compromising the outcome of your tummy tuck
results. Using a teaching hospital doesn’t necessarily mean a poor outcome but
you must understand that the residents don’t have much experience and the
supervising physician may not be totally present. Basically you get what
you pay for. Hope this helped and good luck finding the right surgeon for
you.
