Just sort of curious....who had Dr Fausing, is that how you spell it, for a tummy tuck and about how much did it run?

Hi Edi! Oh, I have visited his website many times just to see the wonderful results. I've heard from many that he's a great doc for PS in the Metro area. Have you gone for a consult anywhere yet? Dr. Michael Fasching http://www.faschingmd.com/

No, I haven't and I'm not really the one interested. I'd still like to lose more weight after I get my thyroid back in shape.  But as for tummy tucks...I think I'll just see how life is before I worry about having surgery.  I have a friend that is very interested but a bit uncomfortable to come forward, so I told her I'd ask on the board.

I didn't have Dr. Fausing, but had a TT in 4/2006 - Paid out of pocket 5400.00 I cashed in a 401 from a previous employer. was the best money I've spent - was also able to deduct from taxes - had to count the money as income and deducted hospital/surgeon fees in addition to other medical charges I had. Hope that someone who had Dr Fausing contacts you for his information.

Do you mean Dr. Michael Fasching at Westhealth?  I had a lower body lift/breast lift done by him in 2004.  Highly recommend him.  I paid $11,500 back then for both done at the same time and it was outpatient.

Thanks Lori, I'll pass the information onto my friend.  She had a breast reduction and was so happy with that and now thought she'd see about the TT.

I had Dr Fasching do a lower body lift and a breast lift with implants last June.  Total cost for all was right around $17,500.  It was done out patient.  I am absolutely thrilled with the results.

If your friend is getting consults I'd also recommend Dr. Jennifer Harington from Edina Plastic Surgery.  She did a fantastic job for me.  Her fees vary depending on several factors.  I had a hernia repair scheduled at the same time and have a few things that made me a more complicated case.  I can't say enough good things about her as a surgeon and as a person.
