Best (and Cheapest) Places in the US to get Plastic Surgery
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.
12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
I am from Monterrey NL.. I wanna have VSG done there but im scared and also figuring out how to come up with that money. How lucky you already had what you wanted. I been trough so much this year( including my twin babies death?) that all i wish for to help with my depression its this surgery... good luck and all your other surgeries! Blessings
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 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.
