Every doctor charges something different.  I have been to see 3 doctors here in Denver and all three of them gave me quite different quotes.  If I were you I'd just go to a few free consults and get their quotes.  I also have never heard of a whole body lift. There is the Lower Body Lift - raising butt area but does nothing for the thighs.  Good luck with your search.

The prices I found here in the states for LBL were anywhere from 12K to 17K.

Some surgeons do what they call a total body lift or full body lift.

but does a full body lift or a total body lift include the thighs?

Depends on if you are referring to inner or outer thighs.  Even the lower body lift generally improves the appearance of the outer thigh.

 They are all over the place on price and some doctors will not do it all at once.  You just have to check around with doctors you would be comfortable using. I plan to have some done with a resident program and have used a regular PS already. Residents are much cheaper.

The costs will be different for every doctor.  Somewhere online there is a calculator that will give you "averages" for your area - but the consults are the only way you're going to know for sure.

I asked my dr about doing my medial thighs at the same time as my LBL - but he does not like to do the medial thighs at the same time because the legs need to be spread and he feels that he has better results doing them at different times.

I agree with the others - the costs can range all over the board for each surgeon - especially when some feel that doing all at once is not advisable - cause then you have another hospital fee for the next part too.

You need to do the free consults and see what is offered and then pick who you really feel is most in line with your expectations.

I know here in Houston,Texas they have a program for WLS patients that works through Baylor College of Medicine Residency program - maybe they have something similar there?
If not - do it here and Ill come visit you and bring you magazines!:)

I would save a MINIMUM of $10,000. Thats BARE MINIMUM. But for all you are mentioning IN THE STATES - I would save closer to $15k.
It's a lot - And I just wanted to be realistic as I can for you.
