TT and Lipo: What is the average cost range?

Question

I’ve been looking at TT-Lipo posts on RS and I’m finding such a discrepancy with what people are paying for a TT- Lipo procedure in California. It seems like all of the Doctors on here are great, but why such a difference in price? I’ve been doing my research and looking at different Doctors work. I’m, 43years young :), 5’1, 126pounds , healthy, active and after having four kids I have been aggressively searching for the best Doctor.

It is hard to say what the average is because there are several factors involved such as; the geographical area, even in different parts of the state, the experience of the surgeon, the procedure may be different for different patients. Some may be quoting the surgeons fee only while others may be giving a quote that includes everything, the surgery center/hospital, the anesthesiologist, and post operative care. For my practice it is about $12,000 including everything mentioned. Good luck.

Thank you for the question.  It is an important one: selection of your plastic surgeon will be the most important decision you make when it comes to achieving an outcome that you will be pleased with.
Generally I suggest that patients start 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.  Ultimately it will be important that you feel comfortable that your plastic surgeon have a significant/demonstrable experience consistently achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with.   
Besides appropriate training and experience (and certification by the American Board of plastic surgery), looking at before/after photographs (and  preferably talking to previous patients) can be very helpful in this selection process.
****Basically, patients should look at the overall "quality" of the outcomes achieved;  in other words, it will be important that patients see lots of examples of outcomes that they would be pleased with.  In doing so patients will be able to get an idea of each  plastic surgeon's "aesthetic sensibilities".When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific operation planned, 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 average costs of surgery listed on this website, and on individual plastic surgeon's websites as well.My best advice: select your plastic surgeon carefully based on priorities of safety record and confidence in his/her ability to deliver an outcome that you will be pleased with.
 I hope this helps. Best wishes.
