Cost question for self pays

I am still a couple of years away from plastics (still need to lose 19 lbs to make normal BMI, then want to wait for my skin to recover as much as possible on its own.)  I know I will need a tummy tuck or LBL, breast lift and medial thighs (they already look hideous!) and need to know approximately how much all that would cost.  I'm going to start saving now so I won't have to go into debt.

Also, how much to get rid of this damned turkey neck??

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Karen

Check my siggy for what I had done (everything between two surgeries - aggressive and not for everyone).  My cost was in the neighborhood of 27K.

Thank you.  Were you able to get that done here in the US, or did you need to travel?

I did it in the US.  My preference was to do my entire recovery at home.

I am in the northeast and just got a quote of 15k for breast lift w/ augment and TT.  I went to a different doc and got a quote of 17K for breast lift only and TT.  I am only getting the TT for 7K (with the first doc  who is an excellent surgeon) because I cannot afford to pay 15K right now! i will get the breasts done after I pay for the stomach!  The fee differences really were because the doctors used different hospitals.

I recommend seeking out a ps who is willing to try to get (at least some) insurance coverage for your procedures (assuming symptoms exist).
