How Much Does a Body Lift Cost?

This will vary from city to city, state to state and country to country. If you lived in Australia this would be my recommendation: Get health insurance coverage first.
This doesn’t always work with everyone’s situation and it will fundamentally come down to how long the operation will take, how long in hospital you will need to stay and who does it for you.

And if it all goes smoothly and to plan without post-op complications like haematomas or blood transfusions that might require a return to the operating theatre or a longer post-operative stay. You should discuss all these with your surgeon pre-operatively so there is no bill shock afterwards.

Every discussion related to this kind of surgery should always include long term touch ups and revisions which are always higher then the skin and collagen have been damaged secondary to the primary weight gain. This tends to occur no earlier than 6 months following surgery once the scars have a chance to mature and your surgeon can assess how you are progressing.

Thank you for your question.
As in any cosmetic procedure (as most insurance carriers do not cover this), the total cost is determined by geographic location, the surgeons fee, OR, Hospital, Anesthesia and surgeon experience.  In my practice, a total lower body lift is around $12,500.  This includes an abdominoplasty, monsplasty, thigh lift, butt lift with gluteal auto-augmentation, posterior trunk lift and liposuction for any further sculpting, as well as nerve blocks for pain control.  The cost also includes my fee and the costs of the OR, Hospital, Anesthesia and any postoperative care needed.  Some of these procedures can be done on an outpatient basis, but the majority of cases are long (>5-6 hrs) and are at risk for blood loss, so I usually prefer to watch a patient at least overnight and to control any pain or discomfort they may have.  Please inquire for any more information or consultation.  Hope this helps, take care!

Thank you for your question regarding the cost of a 360 circumferential lower body lift.  Prices range depending on your location, operating room cost, plastic surgeon's fees, and anesthesiologist's fees.  Some plastic surgeons perform the 360 circumferential lower body lift in the hospital. Performing the 360 circumferential lower body lift in a hospital is significantly more expensive than a surgery center.  Some plastic surgeons perform the 360 circumferential lower body lift in a surgery center.  The surgery center is much more cost effective.  Some plastic surgeons charge more because of their geographic location. Geographic location can increase a plastic surgeon's overhead costs.  This overhead is passed on to the patient.  I would suggest you use a website like RealSelf to find out the cost of a 360 circumferential lower body lift in your neighborhood. Alternatively, you can go to three or four experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons and obtain cost estimates. Please be sure your estimate includes all pre-operative blood tests, chest x-ray, garments, surgical supplies, anesthesia, and operating room.  Your cost estimate should include all follow up visits. The cost may not include post-operative supplies which may include dressings, silicone cream, and silicone tape.   Good luck! Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
