It has been a little over a year since my tummy tuck and mostly I am happy with my results except for two fat pooches along my scar. With undies on I look fine but not so great naked. My PS is only charging me for the anesthesiologist for my procedure. Since I will be going under the knife again I decided to go ahead and take care of another area that drives me completely nuts. My inner thighs. My PS is being very fair with the price to do those. Here is a link to my initial journey with my tummy tuck if you care to read it. http://www.realself.com/review/tampa-fl-tummy-tuck-finally-putting

So is the price you listed for fixing your tummy spots and your thighs?

It is just for the anesthesiologist. He also charged $1500 for the thigh lipo. I guess I should include it.

So $1400 for anesthesiologist and $1500 for thighs. He did not charge me for the revision.

Thank you for your post. I had a tummy tuck and muscle repair 10 months ago and I am very unhappy with the results . I paid a LOT of money to go to a good PS in LA . All the pain and wasted time was really not worth it ! My tummy is uneven and I still have pooches in 2 different areas. I am seeing another doctor for revision. :(

You are welcome. I was unhappy too with the pouches. I talked to my doctor about them and he said that he had already taken too much and was afraid that if he took more during the initial tt I could develop necrosis. I am happy he made that decision. I rather have the pouches than a big gaping hole. I too paid a lot for my tt, and am very happy with my PS choice. Talk to your PS and see why you were left the way you were. Ask about the possibility of doing the revision with him. You chose him fir a reason in the first place. Don't discount him yet unless he completely botched you.

I paid $35,000 for the full TT to supposedly, get the best result! No other doctor I saw after that charges this much ! Was I taken for a ride?? I also had to pay for a plane ticket to come from the east coast and stay in a hotel. After the surgery The PS assured me repeatedly that i would have a flat tummy. I regret not checking online for all the complications that could occur after surgery because neither he nor his staff explained that There is something called Seroma although I asked and one of his nurses and she said sometimes the patient can get An infection. I had Seroma and I thought it was normal until I checked online. :( I am very disappointed and upset because the result is not what I had expected at all. The rest of my body is small and I wear a size 4. I only had a tummy and now it doesn't look normal. I can't wear fitted tops because you can see the unevenness. The PS did offer to do a revision but I am really disappointed in him.

So my surgery was moved from the 6th to the 7th and then postponed until yesterday the 9th because the PS's wife had to have an emergency C-section. The pain is not that bad, I feel like I did after day 4-5 PO from my initial tummy tuck. My thighs do burn though. They were a last minute decision and hope it was worth it. I have one drain, that only bugs me a little every now and then. I will post pics later. Happy healing. AND Happy Mother's Day to all of the mommies out there.

Just left my follow up. PS said he took almost a kilo of skin and fat from my belly and a litter from my thighs!! Wow. I am happy with the results so far. I have the pleating but I know that with time it smooths out. I can't wait for the swelling to go down.
