Cost of Tummy tuck, implants and lift

Can anyone tell me if they had all three of these done at the same time and what the cost was?

Im getting the panni paid by insurance.  Im including a tummy tuck and I thought since they were there I would see about the breast implants and lift.  So Im surious as to what others paid for the TT, breasts and lift.

Also,did you get silicone or saline and why did you choose that kind?

Thanks,
Michelle

Hi there!

I didn't get implants, but the quote was another 2500 or so for silicone

I had panni covered by insurance, 5K to upgrade to TT

Breast lift - 5K surgeon fees, 2300 facility and other stuff. 

I'm doing an extended tummy tuck, a lift and implants and my total is 10,500.

What does the extended tummy tuck include?  My surgeon didn't use that term with me.

I had LBL-TT and BL/BA mine in total was $20K but worth every penny

I had one consult and going for another at a different place next week, but for tummy tuck, breast lift, and saline implants...overnight stay at hospital and going home with pain pump...about 12,000,

Where was your surgery price quoted from and what MD?  Is there a web site to review?  I am researching my cost and information on plastics now.

Michelle:

I have recently had the surgery (BA/BL and anchor TT) with insurance approval for panni removal.  my total out of pocket cost was around 5K, including surgeon, anesthesia, overnight stay and implant fee.  I went thru the resident program at a local hospital in boston and saved thousands.  I received excellent care and continue to receive excellent follow up care.

As for the silicone vs saline, I chose silicone.  I researched this to death and one of the sites that helped me make my decision was www.makemeheal.com.  There are several out there that should be helpful to you regarding this issue.  There are definate pros and cons for both implants, so it comes down to a personal decision based on what you eventually want for looks, feel, follow-up etc.  I think the thing that swayed me more than anything was the fact that the women that had initially gotten saline implants then switched to silicone said there was no comparision between the two as far as how they look and feel.  They loved the silicone and were very happy, but again, it comes down to personal choice.  The other issue is where they will be placed and the size.  For me, I had 500cc silicone under the muscle.  So far, Im extremely satisfied with the results and they are fabulous looking, getting better everyday.  With my TT and implants, I now have curves for the first time in my life....its about time at 51!!

Im sure that not matter what you decide, you will be happy with the outcome.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions that I can answer for you.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Michelle,

I had a TT with BL/BA and total cost including the surgery center was $12,265 ($10,000 of which was my surgeon's fee).

I choose Saline and it was a personal preference and the fact that if I needed slightly less in one side it was easily achieved with saline.

Good Luck,
