How much does a Tummy Tuck cost ? boob lift?
Im Assuming This Procedure Will Not Be Covered By My Insurance. So I Was Just Wondering What I Will Be Looking At Spending For My Plastic Surgery. I Just Had My Gbs 10-10-06 So I Do Have A Long Time Before Tt And Boob Lift But Maybe I Can Start Saving.

Well, I can give you exact quotes for a few procedures here in Ohio. But I think they vary from State to State, doc to doc, and also depending how extensive the skin is. I had a TT, breast lift and implants, and a chin lift for $17,025. It was done outpatient, so no hospital fee. That price included consultation, anesthesia, the doc, the facility, the gel implants and warranty, and follow up.

A tip my nutritionist gave me was to document everything through my doctor.
So say for example, you have skin problems caused by sagging skin rubbing against each other, don't self medicate, see your doctor and have him prescribe something for it, or at least tell you to get a over the counted medication for it.
This way, you have a better case for medical necessity when the time is right. I've already confirmed this plan with my surgeon as well as my regular doctor and they are both on board.
That doesn't answer your question, at all, but i hope it helps a bit.

I just had a full body lift front and back and it was 10,500.00 of course I know someone that works for the doc so I got a little discount. It was worth every penny as far as I'm concerned.

Marty, which procedure did you have on your chin? I am most concerned about the skin under my chin, how it hangs, and is chicken-like. I am serious looking into PS to have it fixed... more than my boobs. Any feedback, about time off, pain, bruising would be great.

Hey Michelle.......I'm not sure the difference between chin ops.  I had what I call a gobbler. It was very unattractive and made me look older. Actually, to me, that surgery was the most annoying. It has a lot of face numbness, it whacked my taste buds, and the head thing looks ridiculous and burns and itches.  But all of the procedures were well worth the cost and pain. It left me with some decent bruising on my face, which faded to light after about 2 weeks. I had stitches under my chin, running down the front and back of the ears. The scars already at 3 weeks out are not that noticeable.....certainly not as much as the hanging neck...ick. As for time off work.....if I had an easy job with a comfy chair and the ability to get up and walk when I needed, I'd be easily able to work now (3 weeks). With any lifting, it's like 6 weeks. Right now I go shopping, run errands, go out to Karaoke, cook, etc. I just can't lift, push, or pull. Please feel free to ask me any detail I maybe didn't think of.....I'm a fairly tell all type. I'd put pics if I knew daggone how. lol

Oh, and the boobs weren't nearly as painful as you'd think.....not sure why.
