Tummy tucks $$$
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?

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.

2014 update...regained but haven't lost faith.
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.
Hey Hon! When it comes to $$$ check around with the varies WONDERFUL PS's out there! THey all vary in $$$ and it doesn't hurt to check them all out!!!

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.
I had Dr. lundquist, my insurance paid for the panniculectomy, but he gave
me a full tummy tuck with out charging me the extra most charge. so I just paid my copay.
with out insurance Dr. Lundquist was $5,800 for full tummy tuck
Dr. leigh edina plastic surgery $12,500 for circumfrential tummy tuck, lipo of thighs
back fat, and BA
Dr. vogt was $18,000 for circumfrential tummy tuck, lipo back fat and thighs, BL and BA
