TT and PR Questions??? Pleae Help.

I went for my consult about having a panni removal and a tummy tuck today. He said he felt sure my insurance wouldn't cover the panni because it wasn't hanging low enough. He will do a PR, TT and Lipo around my stomach, sides, and back. He said total cost would be around 10,000. Does that sound right?

That sounds high. A tummy tick includes panny removal, and should include liposculpting. I could be wrong, but I think $7000-$8000 would be more like it.

It does sound high to me but I'm in the midwest. I had an LBL & brachio done & w/ the hospital, surgeon fees & anathesia it was just over 11,000

Price depends on where you live too.............if you are in CA or Manhattan then it might not be too high.  For me the TT prices I got ranged from about $7,000 - 9,500

I found this on the web which I thought might help you.  FYI - the prices below are just for the SURGEON, they do not include the facility and anesthesia fee.
Hope it helps...

"The costs of plastic surgery vary greatly. They depend of the type of procedure and often your geographic location.

The cost of cosmetic surgery tends to comprise the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee and implant fee (if applicable).

According to 2007 statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the national average for plastic surgeon fees based on procedure are:"

Surgical Procedures	National Average
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)	$5,350
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)	$2,840
Breast augmentation - silicone gel implants	$4,087
Breast augmentation - saline implants	$3,690
Breast lift	$4,341
Breast reduction (women)	$5,417
Buttock augmentation	$4,250

To me that sounds about right.  I had a TT, BL/BA and the total cost including anesthesia was $12,265.  Surgeon's fees were $10,000 of that number.

You can always and should get more than one opinion.
