Has anyone had liposuction or tummytuck if so how much how was it?

Don't cross the border.... I had both, but by reputable Drs. Had complications, but would rather have the surgery here just in case. Expect anywhere from 5 thousand up. I would do it again, it was worth it for me. Check out your surgeon before you do anything. Make sure all is in order, this is your life you are messing with. Any surgery is dangerous, even Elective Surgery. Good Luck!

I had a tummy tuck, but for health reasons, it was covered by Medicare. Depending on where you live, and the doctor you choose, the price can vary. In Canada, you're looking at close to $5000(the province I had it done in would have cost me $3500 if I had of had to pay myself). In the US I've read that it could cost $5000 to $9000-$10 000.
In the US they are both quite costly.

Have you considered the option of going overseas for your treatment? Across the border in Mexico and even in some South American countries like Costa Rica, Brazil, Panama and Argentina they do these surgeries for up to 80% less than the prevailing rates in the US. Then there are many countries in Asia like India, Singapore and Thailand that are also excellent places to go for your treatment. Even after you have paid for your travel and all other related expenses, you end up saving lots.

However, you need to be careful about the quality of hospitals there. You must make sure that they are JCI/JCAHO/ISO accredited which means that the hospital provides services that meet or exceed US standards and the facilities are world-class.

One such medical tourism facilitator that works only with quality hospitals abroad is Healthbase (http://www.healthbase.com). You can research about the various medical procedures, communicate with the surgeons overseas, plan and book your travel all at their website. You can even apply for a medical finance loan through their website.

Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
