So I live in Denver and I flew out to Oklahama to get my VSG surgery because it was HALF the price in Oklahoma.  That was over a year ago and I hit my goal weight!   But now i really need a 1) tummy tuck 2)breast lift & 3)augmentation. (mommy makeover)

Denver is a pretty expensive place to get surgery done.  (I was quoted $17K for tummy tuck, breast lift and silicone augmentation)

But I'm willing to fly out of state (but NOT Mexico or Brazil) to get my plastics done.  I want to stay in the U.S.

I heard that was it better and cheaper to go to places like Miami and Los Angeles where a lot more people get surgeries done.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

$17K for Breast Lift, TT and Augmentation is actually really cheap for Denver.  I was quoted $22K for BL/BA/UBL and Arms.

$19K for LBL only.  I had three consults in Denver and decided to go to Monterrey Mexico with Dr Sauceda.  NO regrets, I have been there twice and going again.  1/3 the price, all inclusive if your surgery is greater than $7K and you are inpatient and then have a visiting RN until you leave.  And he sees you daily.

Going out of the country is not for everyone so I can understand  your desire to stay stateside, however, I have no regrets and everything went very well.

I would probably have to agree with you that Miami would have some of the cheaper prices - however alot of the prices are so low because the procedures are done in the doctors own surgical center vs the hospital. I had my extended tummy tuck in Miami, however I chose a surgeon who does his procedures in a hospital. I felt more at ease being in a hospital just in case something went wrong. And of course no matter who you chose make sure to do your research on you surgeon - you definitely want it done right the first time.

I wouldn't go for cheapest surgery. It's your body and your life and your risk of complications. The most important thing you can do is pick a well-qualified surgeon with a lot of experience, and that doesn't come cheap.

I had an LBL & brachio for 12k (insurance paid the panni portion so not sure what it was for full pay) and Thigh lift and BL/BA for 10k or so, can't remember. My surgeon is in GR MI and we are now know for some of our hospitals. Excellent hospitals, surgeons & support staff.

I always thought cities like NY, Miami and LA would have much higher prices than mid west since the cost of living is so much higher there.
