Tummy Tuck/Lower Body Lift

[aussienic]

do you mind if I ask what sort of costs are involved?

I emailed one place and right from first visit to last I was told a ball park figure of 10k.. Is that about right?

Mine was about 5 years ago and only cost around $4500, would have to check my stuff, but it was definately not over $5K. I did get a rebate from medicare for the anethatist fee and I only stayed 1 night in hossie but really should have stayed another 2, which would add another $1K per night I think. I didn't have private cover, not that they cover the op anyways.

Ok thanks.. might have to look at going to a bigger city hospital.. this was in a regional town..

My mum's total surgery was $16k, and just over $10k of that was the tummy tuck. The rest was lipo. She does have private cover, but didn't get a great deal back.

The price really varied when I started looking too.
Another friend of mine got sucked into a heap of lipo on one of those interest free loan things and it was sooooo expensive. She is a single mum and really got suckered badly and is still paying the stupid thing off.
Some places I called sounded so dodgy but the minute I saw this fellow I knew he was the one even though I hadn't had a visit with anyone else.
