How much would all this cost for plastic surgery?
I will be eighteen in nineteen days, and I have decided I want plastic surgery I want liposuction on my arms, back, thighs, and tummy. I also want a tummy tuck and I want them to tighten my skin so its not so loose and saggy from the lipo. I am 5'4' and 235 lbs. I just need this surgery. Can you give me an estimate? Dont try to talk me out of it.

- Liposuction on 1 area of the body typically costs $3,000-$5,000. If you were able to do all the locations at the same time, it would be around $12,000, though it is more likely that a doctor would want to do it in several stages, so double that. A tummy-tuck costs about $10,000. A body lift (tightening skin all over) costs from $25,000-$40,000. Overall, those surgeries combined would cost $50,000-$75,000. The bad news is that you cannot actually use liposuction to lose weight for several reasons. I think doctors usually want you within 10% of your ideal weight before they will even do it. Meaning, you would need to diet until you were 15 or so lbs away from your goal. The best way to lose weight is through diet and exercise, especially at your age... Changing your lifestyle is the only way to make the weight loss permanent. If you really can't lose the weight on your own, a better surgical option for you would be gastric bypass, though I doubt any doctor would do the procedure at your age unless the weight was seriously threatening your health. I would suggest making an appointment with your family doctor and talking to him about your weight concerns and what your options are. Best of luck to you.
