PS Shocker

So, just for fun I went to a complimentary consult with a plastic surgeon yesterday...Yeah I was thinking a tummy tuck and new boobs...well let me tell you when they were examining me they were like "well, does this area on your thighs and butt bother you?"...well yes as a matter of fact it does...of course they could fix it...so bottom line they suggested: Lower body lift Inner thigh lift New boobs Total Cost: $43,000. Yeah right! Are they kidding...am I unrealistic about the costs...they told me things like I have done a good job with working out and my skin issues are not so bad...that I have a good figure already...any of you got similiar quotes?

can I get up off the floor now??? $43,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DId they give you a break down of that cost - can you pick and chose, say like have one thigh done at a time So are you going for it ~

Yes, they broke it down like this: $22,000 lower body lift $9000. Thigh lift $9000. New boobs $3000 after care facility Yes, I can do it all at once or each seperately....but uh NO I am not going for it...can not even begin to swing that right now...I have decided i will just keep my clothes on!!!

My GOSH!! Thats awful!! I think I would just keep my clothes on,too!! They advertise some place in Toledo that do it for less then that,but you hear and see allot of horror stories that scares the crap out of me!! That cost has to be with someone who knows what they are doing......I hope!!

ok i've got boobs, arms and extensive tummy tuck (as opposed to moderately tucking the tummy i guess?) and i've got the quote at $17-19,000 depending on my length of stay. I'm in the process of getting the tummy covered by insurance and the boobs will be next years project and the arms will be a self pay....perhaps a gift if i can work on it. ANDI

I am going for mine in a week, but so far it looks like $20,000 for the lower and $10 to $15,000 for the upper (arms and boobs). I am going to Dr. Shouster (who is one of the best in the country) He does not take insurance and the price includes pressure garments... we will see if the price is more after I see them...LOL

I had mine done a week ago Thursday. I had a trunk lipectomy (circum body lift w/ a fleur de lis incision) and a breast lift w/ augmentaton. The total cost was $18,060. Surgeon fees were $11,000; Implants were $1000; Operating Room was $3400; and Anesteshia(sp) was $2,660. My arms bother me, but they were an additional $5000, so I decided they did not bother me that much. I had the best nurse in the hospital and she kept bringing people in to see how flat my stomach is. They all called me hollywood flat stomach. Hope this helps!!! Danice

Hi Danice Haven't seen you in ages - how have you been? Obviously doing well as you've just had PS - how are you feeling and recovering? Have you put pics up yet? I'd love to hear all about it and your experiences. Are you at goal yet?
