A member asked:

Can i get a tummy tuck for around $3000? (my belly is in the way of everything i hate the way i look in clothes, my tummy is bigger than my behind)

Probably not: Prices vary depending upon where you live, but when you add the fees of the surgeon, the anesthetist, and the facility it will likely be more than twice that amount.

Abdominoplasty: 3000 may not actually pay for a well executed tummy tuck. I think the lease expensive I have seen for a plastic surgeon to perform this surgery is in the range of 5-6k and much higher. It is critical for your own safety to see only board certified plastic surgeons. Paying a fair sum for this surgery will reduce higher costs associated with future revision surgery

Probably not: Be careful price shopping elective surgery - remember that it is still surgery. Do not make a choice based on price alone. Consult with board certified plastic surgeons and choose someone you trust. They can help you discuss financing options. Generally speaking, cheap surgery often produces sub-par results, some of which can seriously compromise your safety. Best wishes!
