questions to ask at first consultation

OK all you exerpienced Plastic folk, I need help!  I have my first consultation for Plastics next week.  I know I need work on my thights, abdomen, "Muffin top," breasts, and arms.  I also know that my insurance will not pay for any of it. 

I need to know how much each procedure costs and what order is the best order to do it in. I know I will ask the surgeon these questions, but what else do I need to ask??  Help I am so excited and nervous about taking this next step on the journey.

Hi, I'm excited for you!  My PS is doing a body lift in the first surgery, which will include a tummy tuck, outer thigh lift and butt lift. Second stage, in 3-6 months will be breast lift, flankoplasty and possibly arm and inner thigh lift. I'm undecided at this point.  Fees vary by dr. and by state and many docs will give you a discount if you combine procedures. In my case, I will have my surgery in the hospital, be discharged and spend the night in a care facility and then be discharged. I think this is a huge factor in keeping costs low.  I'm basically paying the surgeon and anesth. and minimal hospital costs.
10K for part 1.
16K for part 2
7K without the arms and legs in part 2.
I don't know how these prices compare to any others, but my doc has a lot of experience and I feel it's worth every penny.  No matter how long I take to pay it off, lol.
*Also, there is a lot of good info in the sidbar on this page under "plastic surgery information". It includes a section regarding consultations and what to ask your surgeon.

Thanks for the info.  I saw that side bar section about 3 seconds AFTER i posted originally.  It is good to know about the costs in other areas and how they might compare.  Thankfully the Initial consultation is free.

I asked a similar question when I was starting the process. Here is  link to the very helpful responses that I received - I think they will help you too. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/4193526/Wha t-should-I-expect-Have-my-first-PS-consult-this-week/#343681 71

I'm heading to Monterrey Mexico and Dr Sauceda for my PS.  Planning on a LBL, small upper thigh lift, BL and arms.  May also have a full facelift a few days after the body work.  All of that for under 20k, including the face lift.
