Cash cost?

Hi everyone.. can I get an idea of what it might cost for a lbl, arm lift, breast augmentation? I'm finishing up my weight loss journey and I have money set aside to start seriously planning this journey. I am in Northern California if that makes a different though I would consider going to a reputable doctor in Mexico.

You can figure $25,000-$30,000.  My LBL was $13,000.  The breast lift/brachioplasty was around $11,000.  Those prices are all inclusive - surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgery center, overnight surgery recovery center.  I suspect it'll cost more in California, just because everything does!

My LBL with lipo and muscle tightening was $18K; I had it done in a hospital with a 2-night stay so it was pricier than some.  You should plan on $25K-$30K for all those procedures done in the U.S.  

And when you shop around for the armlift and BA make sure the doc addresses the bra-line excess under your armpit and on your back bra line.  That's typically addressed in an extended arm lift or breast lift.  However, I have a FB friend who just had an arm lift and BA and it did not take care of either of those things.  She's very disappointed and is now going to have to pay for another procedure.  

Make sure you know what's included in every single procedure. Not every surgeon does the same thing!   

Thanks so much for the replies. I have been loosely following Dr. Saucedo for many years so his office is one of the first I've contacted and I am waiting to hear back. 

Yes, I have found that in my consults everyone does things a little different so it is not exactly comparing apples to apples.
Breast Augmentation is more expensive than if you get a Breast lift. Depends what you have left there.

Thanks.. I am hoping that I will be ok with a lift. Is there another forum on plastic surgery that has more traffic? I think many years ago this board had a lot more patients sharing info. 

This does get traffic, if you post things people usually respond eventually. Dr. Sauceda from Mexico has his own board. If you scroll back their are pics and stories.

The website realself is devoted to all the plastic surgery procedures available.

I had a LBL, full thigh lift, LBL revision, extended arm lift, and breast lift for around 25k. Though, I guess a price can vary from person to person!

Hi star dust,

We would be glad to assist you with finding Plastic Surgeons for your procedures. Congratulations on taking the last step in this journey to a new, healthy you.  I have to say the PS has had almost a greater impact on my life (in a good way) than the weight loss.  When you go to the offices for the consults make sure they show you before and afters of patients that have had WLS.  It takes a special talent to deal with all our skin and issues and you want to look marvelous 

Check your PM.

Regards,

Kathy
