Question:
Price of reconstructive surgery

Can anyone share with me how much there reconstructive surgery cost was? (tummy tuck) I am pretty sure I will have to pay out of pocket and would like to know some ball park figures. I know each state, Doctor, and person is different. I would just like to know what yours cost and the state you live in. Thanks!    — [Anonymous] (posted on November 4, 2001)

I am scheduled for an abdominoplasty and armlift surgery in a couple of weeks. In NC, my plastic surgeon's fee for an abdominoplasty is $3000, and the armlift is $3200. Additional fees for the hospital (one-night observation bed) and anesthesia are estimated at $2500. Good luck!
