tummy tuck

I think you should get a second opion regarding the muscle tightening. I believe the overwhelming majority of us need it after losing weight, even if we did not have kids.  The cost you were quoted, compared to what most pay where I live is extremely reasonable. Here it is at least twice that. I paid even more to have the best surgeon.

I am paying 9800 for extended TT with lateral thigh lift.

The cost of a tummy tuck really depends on your location. That price is not unreasonable unless that is the cost of the surgeon's fee only. Most weight loss patients do need muscle tightening, but this has to be determined by your surgeon.

Many weight loss patients have significant loss of volume, a nipple positioned at the bottom of the breast, and a lateral roll of skin. For many of my weight loss patients, I prefer not to use breast implants. To get the volume that many women desire, you can use the lateral roll of skin to auto-augment the breast without using implants. It is a great operation to restore breast volume, correct nipple position and remove the lateral roll of the breast. For women that have small breasts without the lateral roll, an implant may be a good option.

Congrats on your weight loss and good luck.
