How much do plastics cost?

Hi..   I had my surgery 4 years ago at Tufts and need a TT and upper arm lift...does anyone know the cost of these things....is there anyone who has had them done at tufts medical center? On my way...

Don't know about Tufts, but I had a TT with muscle repair in Marlborough with Dr Poulos (FABULOUS!!) and paid about $7000.

I think you could get it as cheap as $5....Here's what you do...Go to your local convenient store...buy a $5 scratch ticket and hit for at least 50K...You'll be all set then!  PS  That is my secret plan once I hit goal, but I was in the mood to share!

hi, We had a plastic surgeon speak at our last support group at Emerson. He gave a ballpark figure of $2000 per hour for surgical time. That number would include everything - hospital, anesthesia, all fees, etc. Jayne

Most PS that I consulted with in the Boston area cost $5000.00 for the surgeons fee only.  The hospital fees were all different ranges within $2000.00 difference.  I don't really need an arm lift so I can't help you with that.  I ended up having a lower body lift for &7500.00 with everything included. anst. hospital fees and surgeon fees.  My insurance paid for my 2 nights in the hospital due to having a hernia repair as well.

I had my PS at NWH and my insurance paid for my TT.  I have Harvard and they gave me no problems.  Have you thought of submitting it to your insurance?

I had mine at Beth Israel....I used Dr. Borud and he is fabulous (specializes in weight loss patients).   See my signature line...I had pretty much everything done.   It's hard to figure out exact cost for just TT & arms because mine were all combined together.   Insurance paid for my TT (well "panni removal") but I think if you don't have insurance it's probably around $5k.   I think arms were somewhere around $4k or $5k.   See if insurance will cover the abdominal work and then you can just "upgrade" and pay for the arms. Good luck Suzanne
