self-pay plastic surgery anyone???



Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me how much to do a Tummy Tuck? I know that there are probably alot of variables, but maybe a ballpark figure. Also, does anyone know of somewhere that offers cheap but safe surgeries? I researched a surgeon for my lapband and found Dr. Kirshenbaum on this site and I flew to Denver in July. He was wonderful. Now I would like to start searching for plastic surgeons. I have lost 70 pounds and still have about 60 to lose but I want to start looking now.

Thanks.

Hey Quennee

Where in Mexico if you don't mind me asking. I will be self pay and need a full body recontouring procedure. I am self pay for band and I am almost positive I will be self pay for reconstructive surgery as well. I still have about 30 to 40 more pounds I want to lose but I am starting to research my options.

Thanks!

Melissa

I paid 7000.00 in Texas for mine, planning on getting the boobs reduced and that will be another 6000.00. If it goes as good as the tuck did,I won't miind dishing out for it.

I'm not quite ready but hoping to be at goal next summer so I'd like to start looking into it sooner than later. Manatee, it sounds like your doc was reasonable. Do you mind sharing his name and location? I'm in Houston.

I had my surgery with Dr Stuart Lipton. I quite literally picked him at random. I'm pretty sure that he undercharged, because the amount of work that I ended up with (so far!) exceeded what he told me to expect. That doesn't count round 2.

Dude's been excellent so far, cannot fault his care at all. I just wish my body was cooperating better.

Dr Stuart Lipton, M.D.

Your price will vary

Well, I went yesterday for my second consultation...I added some things that I want done. I initially wanted a Tummy Tuck and inner thigh tuck. I'm going to have a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. I'm scheduled for April 14. The total for everything, including hospital stay, fees, implants, everything is just about $19,000. I will be paying for everything myself but I know it's so worth it. It also includes all follow-up visits forever!!! Good luck (and wish me luck).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
