private pay cost of a panniectomy

Help...anyone know the cost of a panniectomy as a private pay? Am in Northern California.
Thanks

There's a lot of different factors, but if I would've had to self-pay, it would've been a little over $18K total for hospital and surgeon and everything in between.

First of all, get a Tummy Tuck instead if you are a self pay - it's just a little more and the surgery outcome is a whole lot better.

A Tummy Tuck is about $10,000 in San Diego for everything .

Thanks-
I was disapproved by my insurance company and am thinking of trying to pay myself.
Could not find amounts anywhere!

I am getting a tummy tuck in Utah and it is going to cost 5500

You might want to look into one of the Resident Training Programs.  You will save money on the surgical fee.

Something to keep in mind is that if you elect to self-pay for a procedure that your insurance deems "not medically necessary", then no complications from that procedure will / would be covered either.   Your plastic surgeon can usually only give you a base price based on a "typical" case -- not counting any medical complications you may have either immediately post-op or later.

I have had around $160,000 in costs (thankfully covered by insurance) due to complications from my abdominoplasty.  My plastic surgeon knew going in that I was a bad risk for certain things, and I don't fault him at all.  And yes -- I'd still absolutely do it all over again, even though I'm still not experiencing the "desired results".
