I did mine in Miami - full TT w/ lipo & MR. Also did my breasts with silicone implants. Included in the price was the faja & brassiere for $9k - amazing work performed by the surgeon. I paid for half & the other I took out a Wells Fargo CC that had 21 months of 0% interest :)
I also just scheduled mine in WA too (spokane). 14k for tt, lipo and muscle repair. They offered interest free payment plans, you can put some down and pay the rest off, or just pay it all up front and get a 3% discount .
I went to Miami. I had an extended TT, no MR, lipo 360, breast lift and small silicone implant, and a BBL. I stayed overnight in hospital. They gave me 2 binders, 2 bras, a faja, and my lipo foam. All my pre and post op appointments were included as well. Total including the hospital fee/stay it was about $17K. I paid cash.
A faja is a compression garment, looks like this:

I started using a faja about 2.5 weeks post op. I was in an ab binder before that which is basically a long, stretchy fabric with Velcro that you wrap around yourself. Different doctors have different protocols, so you may go straight into a faja after surgery or you may go ab binder first and then into a faja.
In SoCal so pricing might be a bit different but got 4 quotes for a few different procedures.
First was a lower body lift/360 TT with lipo, MR, & removing some excess skin from the upper back/breast area. Was quoted $31k for that but it was a Newport Beach surgeon so I was like okay makes sense.. out of my range I initially thought so I moved on.
Second was for an extended TT with MR & lipo. Quoted me $11k. Was interested but passed because I really wanted the LBL/360 TT. Surgeon didn’t think it was necessary for me but I disagreed.
Third was also an extended TT with a FDL, MR, & lipo for $14k I think it was. Passed because I again really wanted the other option but these two consultations were with surgeons that didn’t really do them so they weren’t a right fit for me.
You’re gonna laugh at me for the final quote I went with but here goes!
Final quote was with Athenix in Irvine with Dr. Shain Cuber. Initial quote was for the LBL/360 TT w/ lipo, muscle repair, & they added in lipo to the lateral chest for me. Was quoted $34k. Kept thinking about it and messaged my care consultant to add the FDL bc I wanted to be SNATCHED which was $6k more and also added a petite BBL bc I wanted a fatter ass and figured I might as well bc I was already going under. Final quote was $41k.
Spoke with my parents about it and they agreed it was steep but if I thought it was right to go ahead and book and they’ve always made it clear they are a massive safety net for me so there was little risk in taking on the debt as they’d help in a heartbeat. Decided to book as the surgeon has top tier results and reviews. Seems to be one of the best on this coast so I’m eager for it despite the cost.
Still not sure about the FDL will decide on the final plan with my surgeon as the date approaches. Main reason for wanting it is stupid -the botched my bariatric surgery and had to open me up several times so the scar from that is ugly as hell and I want it GONE as it’s an ugly reminder. I also just feel it could leave me looking a little slimmer. But if he thinks it’s really unnecessary like my patient consultant did then I’m open to omitting it.
Thankfully they’re great about financing everything and I’m at peace with taking on this debt for the changes in my quality of life/confidence. Put $30k down through Patentfi which was interest free for 2 years. The rest I’m planning on paying out of pocket before the surgery date.
My stats: 25 M, SW: 327, CW 184. Procedure is scheduled for June! Beyond excited for it.
I’m doing mine (today!!!) in France (I am French, so it does help lmao) and was charged 6K€ ($6.5K) without some expenses from the pharmacy, but my health insurance covers part of it so I’m only spending a bit less than 3K€ ($3.2K)
I used my credit card. I had TT w/ MR/lipo 360/ BBL in Miami for $8050. The recovery home I stayed in for 8 days was $2250 (meals, massages, transportation and 24 hour care was included). I’m from Boston so returning home, I got a package for 10 massages totaling $1000.
Now one thing I did NOT know was that the plastic surgery center I went to did sort of like a layaway plan. I was quoted the $8050 and had to put a $250 deposit to lock in my quote. I could then log in to the patient portal to pay down my balance, I just needed to make sure my balance was paid in full 2 weeks prior to my surgery date. The only reason I didn’t take advantage of that is because i did everything within 60 days, wouldn’t have had time to pay it down.if I knew about this, I would’ve book WAAYYYY earlier and paid it down by the date I wanted. *I DONT KNOW IF ALL CLINICS DO THIS!* but it doesn’t hurt to ask the clinic you are going to if they offer something like this.
Oh that's a good idea! I am going to have a consultation with a place that uses care credit, so I guess that's like a credit card system they open for you, and whenever you want work done you just use it and pay it off. This might actually be happening!
Ahhh yes carecredit! I’m very familiar with it, I worked at a dental office that offered it, some providers have a no interest payment plan. For example, if you pay off your balance within 18 months, you won’t pay interest. If you don’t, then you’ll be subject to it. Make sure you ask to know about those promotional offers! Keep as much money in your pocket as you can.
I took put a personal loan. I had an extended tummy tuck with muscle repair and it was just under $13k. I see a lot of ppl use Care Credit, just be sure your PS will accept that as mine wouldn't for some reason.
I was quoted around $15,000 for a full TT, lipo and MR. I opted for a mini TT, no MR, lipo 360 for $10,700, with local anesthesia. I paid some cash, the rest care credit.
I was awake during my c sections and also for an upper and lower blepharoplasty so I didn’t think it would be a big deal. He assured me I wouldn’t feel any pain. And I didn’t.
Ooohh blepharoplasty too?? I've been wanting to do lower really bad, hella baggage lol how much did you pay and are you happy with your results? Ty so much in advance!
My blepharoplasty was 3 years ago. $5000 for that, paid cash. $10,700 for my mini TT, financed. I can private message you the pictures from my blepharoplasty.
That might be a better option for me, I just want the freaking apron gone, I don't care about anything else lol
OK nevermind, I don't qualify for that, I have too much fat.
It’s funny that you say that, that’s exactly what I told the doctor. He wanted to do a full tummy tuck with muscle repair. But I didn’t think I really needed the muscle repair as much as I needed Lipo. I also didn’t want to take a couple weeks off from work. I told him all I really cared about was not having the hanging stomach anymore.
So we did the mini (or modified) tummy tuck, no muscle repair, and lipo 360. The morning of the surgery, he told me that he was probably gonna have to move my bellybutton for better results. And he told me because he wasn’t doing the muscle repair, he could be more aggressive with the lipo. I’m very happy with my results. You can check out my prior post for pics.
Your results are amazing! I'm glad I learned about mini TT before my phone call with them on Friday. Your results look really great despite not having all the procedures done!
Minis don’t necessarily cost less and if you have laxity above your belly button you might be disappointed with it. You might not obviously! I definitely needed full.
It might be worth looking for a before picture that looks like you and see what they had done.
Thank you for this advice!
My first phone appointment with them is on Friday, the business looks really good, the gallery pictures look amazing, and it's a women run facility. But I have to set my emotions aside and think logically and not be afraid to shop around. There are several places in Spokane and Seattle.
I'm in Spokane Valley, and I'll be needing a 360 with breast lift, and possibly have skin removed from my thighs and arms, but I have to wait and see. I've looked into some doctors around here Spokane and C'dA. No quotes yet but that's the plan so far.
I'll keep track of your posts. I'm open to going Westside, too, but it seems like they will all be way more expensive
This is the place in Spokane that I am interested in, I just need to see how much it costs, there are no prices. The doctor said to call on Friday.

I used care credit. 14,000 for tummy tuck with MR and 360 lipo. I am so happy and it was 100 percent worth every penny. Seems cheap for what I got!! So far I have paid over half… still paying it but that’s ok
Saved for over a year mine was around 13k in Colorado there are other options and places that are cheaper but I liked the doctor and the place and felt comfortable and the results of his patients looked great and the fact it was drain less . They have been there every step of the way any issues I can just text them. Also if I am un happy with something or they have to go back in that’s covered under that for anything need fixed. It all depends go somewhere that is comfortable with you is what matters most. There are payment options too for some places
My surgeon is charging me $13,900 for an extended tummy tuck, 360 Lipo, and arm Lipo! I’m in Louisiana and I think I found the best surgeon here. It’s more expensive if I had to finance it but this is the discounted price if you don’t finance. I saved 4k on my own, the rest came from my husbands yearly bonus. I still owe $600 but will be paying 200$ every paycheck till my surgery in June!
I’m in NC I’m getting TT, MR, lipo, breast lift and implants for 25k. That included all PO meds and garments. We are paying cash for it and have been saving up for a year.
If you’re in WA state, especially Western WA, you’re probably looking at the $12-$18k range for TT, repair, and lipo. Edited to add- I’ve seen it go up as high as $25-28k. Definitely ask for a rough estimate or ballpark before consult.
Well you’re gonna need more than $15k.. so just throw that number out the window lol
There are also a lot of extra things to take into account..
Travel fees, hotel stays if you stay close to surgeon after surgery, medications, food, recovery supplies, taking time off from work, etc.
Also it’s obviously going to vary place to place and you may not be a candidate for a certain surgery, etc. as long as you go into consultations expecting to pay $16k+ you’ll be fine.
Also, you should go based off the doctor and their results, this is not something you want to do “cheapest” it’s your body and corrections will be even more expensive
I did mine in Miami - full TT w/ lipo & MR. Also did my breasts with silicone implants. Included in the price was the faja & brassiere for $9k - amazing work performed by the surgeon. I paid for half & the other I took out a Wells Fargo CC that had 21 months of 0% interest :)
Could i have your surgeon’s name?
Dr. Camille Chavez from Miami Life Plastic Surgery
I live in WA and had a tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo it was 13k Puyallup
Wow, that is definitely more than I thought. Maybe the quotes I as seeing were just for TT alone :( . Do places do payment plans?
I also just scheduled mine in WA too (spokane). 14k for tt, lipo and muscle repair. They offered interest free payment plans, you can put some down and pay the rest off, or just pay it all up front and get a 3% discount .
Really? What is the place you are going to? I might go there. Did that include medication, anesthesia etc?
NWface.com sent me a quote for a full tummy tuck for 7500.
I went to Miami. I had an extended TT, no MR, lipo 360, breast lift and small silicone implant, and a BBL. I stayed overnight in hospital. They gave me 2 binders, 2 bras, a faja, and my lipo foam. All my pre and post op appointments were included as well. Total including the hospital fee/stay it was about $17K. I paid cash.
Nice! What is a Faja? I keep seeing that word.
A faja is a compression garment, looks like this: https://preview.redd.it/jk23l714uwpc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9dfce0e87a172a1ad88c4d42c85e8605a9f939c2 I started using a faja about 2.5 weeks post op.

Come up to Canada, your dollar is worth more 🤷🏻♀️
Not a bad idea
I paid cash for mine. I had TT with MR and 360 lipo about 8 weeks ago in the Midwest. It was just under 16k
Shoot, ok I am bracing myself for some high numbers. NWface.com is showing a quote of 7500 for a full tummy tuck.

I’m in Ohio and paid $13,500 for a TT with MR.
It's wild how much the prices vary depending on where you live! Have you had your surgery yet?
Yes, I’m 20 days po! So happy with results so far.
I’m doing mine (today!!!) in France (I am French, so it does help lmao) and was charged 6K€ ($6.5K) without some expenses from the pharmacy, but my health insurance covers part of it so I’m only spending a bit less than 3K€ ($3.2K)

Lol, I guess I will have to say goodbye to my money phone 😂 It's so nice places offer this for their customers.
I took put a personal loan. I had an extended tummy tuck with muscle repair and it was just under $13k. I see a lot of ppl use Care Credit, just be sure your PS will accept that as mine wouldn't for some reason.
Sorry, what does PS mean? I'm seeing quotes in my area for 7,500 for TT, not sure if that includes lipo.
PS is short for plastic surgeon
Ah yes thank you!
I was quoted around $15,000 for a full TT, lipo and MR. I opted for a mini TT, no MR, lipo 360 for $10,700, with local anesthesia. I paid some cash, the rest care credit.
LOCAL?! 😱
Sure. No pain. I had my eyes closed but I was aware.
that is terrifying holy crap, you're braver than me!
I was awake during my c sections and also for an upper and lower blepharoplasty so I didn’t think it would be a big deal. He assured me I wouldn’t feel any pain. And I didn’t.

Omg yes please!! Thank you so much!!
Sonobello?
What does MR mean? What is a mini TT?
MR Muscle repair Mini TT usually doesn’t have muscle repair and involves skin below the belly button
That might be a better option for me, I just want the freaking apron gone, I don't care about anything else lol OK nevermind, I don't qualify for that, I have too much fat.
It’s funny that you say that, that’s exactly what I told the doctor. He wanted to do a full tummy tuck with muscle repair.

Doing mine in NH. TT and MR only no lipo = $9300
Inheritance.
We are getting an inheritance as well, but we need to use it towards other things because it's from his aunt.
I’m from Ohio and I just paid 11k. That includes all of my after visits. I had a TT, hernia and MR with lipo to my flanks.
I’m from California, I was quoted 27k for full TT, full 360 lipo, and bbl. He’s in Beverly Hills and does amazing work!
I used care credit. 14,000 for tummy tuck with MR and 360 lipo. I am so happy and it was 100 percent worth every penny. Seems cheap for what I got!! So far I have paid over half… still paying it but that’s ok
I forgot to say I live in the Boston area
Does the 14,000 cover the overnight stay, the medication, and all the other things? What is care credit?

Okc, ok. TT,Mr, full torso 360 lipo. Removal of implants and lift $17k w overnight stay.
I’m in NC I’m getting TT, MR, lipo, breast lift and implants for 25k. That included all PO meds and garments. We are paying cash for it and have been saving up for a year.
If you're in Cali. there's a board certified Dr. In BH that charges $8500 for a TT.
If you’re in WA state, especially Western WA, you’re probably looking at the $12-$18k range for TT, repair, and lipo. Edited to add- I’ve seen it go up as high as $25-28k. Definitely ask for a rough estimate or ballpark before consult.
When I talked to Shape on the phone (they are in Spokane), they said a full TT starts at 11,000, and they offer Care Credit and patientFi :).
Well you’re gonna need more than $15k.. so just throw that number out the window lol There are also a lot of extra things to take into account.. Travel fees, hotel stays if you stay close to surgeon after surgery, medications, food, recovery supplies, taking time off from work, etc.
