Tummy tuck cost?
Hello, I am 2 years 3 months post op. I have lost form 423ish to 220. I have maintained 220 for 6 months. I am 29 years old & 6'-3" tall. I have a large build. I have regained much of the muscle that I lost. I go to the gym 4~5 days a week.
Now I have a ring of skin around my mid section and some loose skin on my pectoral region. I have BCBS insurence and they will not cover the cost of removal. I have gotten an $8500 quote from a local dr. ( Greenville NC ) but was wondering if anyone on this board new of the going rates in other parts of the country. If it is a cost savings I may need to take a vacation to that area and get this thing done.
Thanks for any imput.
