Plastic Surgery Info.?

I'm doing a report on the stands of plastic surgery, and 'our world', and I'm at the financial basis of the paper, and I'm having a bit of a problem finding prices. The test subject for mine is a 260 lb male - 6' 2", and wanting to get 60 lbs removes, and get his eyes corrected (vision wise). I'm wondering if anyone knows approx. how much that would cost, in the US? My rough draft states approx. $2,000 for lipo, and about 200 per eye for corrective? However, I have no idea. My figures are just from reading testomonies - However, the testomonies very, by a lot. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

1. I'm honestly not positive, but my guess would be $2-4,000 for lipo, and $4,000 for eyes. Oh and it depends on where you are. LA would probably be more expensive than Utah.
2. We don't do lipo for weight loss. It's done for "body contouring", and if 10 pounds of fat were removed, it would be a lot. Anything much more than that, and the fluid shifts that occur in the body make it a very dangerous thing. Liposuction rates are usually calculated by how many body areas are being worked on. The areas we typically do are abdomen (under the skin, not inside the belly), hips, flanks, inner thigh, outer thigh, inner knees. I'd budget $3,000 - 10,000, depending on how many areas were being done, and the amount of fat to be removed. (I guarantee it isn't going to be 60 pounds!) That includes the fee for the anesthesiologist and the facility fee. Lasik eye surgery is done by ophthalmologists, not plastic surgeons (plastic surgeons do blepharoplasties, but that doesn't affect vision). The cost for Lasik varies by region, but you can count on about $1000/eye, maybe more. http://www.docshop.com/education/vision/refractive/lasik/cost/ Hope that helps.
