Plastic Surgery

For those of you who have or are planning on plastics what approximately is the cost for everything? Full body lift, breasts ,arms etc? I know som e went to Mexico with Dr Q, How was the experience there? thanks in advance...

I can tell you this, for a boob reduction and lift. no implants and a tummy tuck for me, is close to 23,000.  It will all be done in my dreams!

Thanks Diane. I checked out a dr here in newport and for a lower body lift with tummy tuck is 23,000. The breast lift with implants and arms is 13,000. Everything I would need is around 37. It also includes butt lift thighs and upper back. The Dr.'s name is Dr Agha.

Kari, why do you have a website for Argentina when you said you had your surgery in SC? Just wondering?

I did a lot of research before having surgery...at the time SC was closer (lived in Charlotte, NC) and really liked the doctor and nurses there, also, my youngest was only 2 and didn't want to leave her that long. I still plan on having legs done and final lipo in future...Argentina is still a place I keep up with it in case that is where I decide to finish up my plastics.   Researching the options is the key to being comfortable with whatever you decide. Never too much info.

Lorelei -
In 2006 & 2007 I had lost 100 pounds. In September 2007 I consulted with 7 different surgeons. My 2 absolute favorites were Dr. Andrew Smith who was a plastic surgeon recruited to operate on the Guatemalan conjoined twins, he also came highly recommended by an acquaintance who is an insurance coordinator for the OC Memorial Hospitals and one of his patients. For my tummy tuck, lipo of the back flanks, breast mastoplexy (lift with lollipop incisions) with augmentation using silicone implants was $18,000. The 2nd was Dr. Kyeong Kim (drkkim.com) in Costa Mesa. He's actually with the Genetic Institute of Anti Aging (GIAA) he was so thorough and I really appreciated all his knowledge during our consult. I reviewed his before & afters and his work is impeccable. He also was an artisty sort and was very upfront about the realities of the results and the look he was trying to accomplish. They also do a procedure of coleecting your blood before surgery and seperating the white blood cells from the red which after surgery they inject the incisions with your pure red blood cells. Both surgeons I looked into with the state board of medicine, cosmetic & plastic surgeons. I also ran a search in the different county court houses to review if any law suits had come against them. In both cases their reputation is impeccable. I feel comfortable sharing my info as I did truly research these surgeons extensively. And by the way for the same procedure with an additional area of lipo Dr. Kim quoted me $11,100.00. Not sure about all you need done but this was the info I received on the surgeries I was interested in.
Hope it helps. Just do your research. One of the docs I consulted wanted to fill my breasts with 750cc implants (enormous) and no lift found out he had numerous malpractice suits in 2 seperate counties. Scary thing was 3 of my girlfriends used him. So, you never can be too careful.

Hi Lorelei,

I went to a surgeon in Newport Beach, Dr. Richard Lee.  For extended abdominaplasty, breast lift and augentation, the cost was around $17,000.  This also included surgical facility, anesthesia, post op care and overnight stay at a recovery cottage.  The care I got was excellent.
