Hi there :biggrin2:
I've just started looking into a tummy tuck as well and have been in contact with a couple of Dr's in Vancouver so I'll post prices and what I've found out so far....
#1 - False Creek Surgical Center has about 15 board certified surgeons doing abdominoplasties at any given time. When you go for a consult you will see 1 of them and if the one you meet feels that your case would be better handled by someone else they will refer you to a different Dr. You can get an initial consult within about 10 days of calling and surgery can usually be scheduled within 1-4 weeks. The price I was quoted was $6200 +GST and as far as I understand (wasn't actually spelled in black and white for me) this includes all aftercare, follow-up and compression garments.
#2 - Dr. Pugash - He does surgeries at FCSC as well as another place, Parklane Surgical, in Surrey. His quoted price is $7250 which includes GST, compression garments, etc. However this price is quoted on a basic 2 hour surgery and if at consultation he feels your surgery will be more difficult and require more time he will tell you...and your price will increase to reflect that.
#3 - Dr. Horton - He is in Burnaby at the Metrotown Surgical Center (I think thats what it's called...I don't have my paper right in front of me). His price was $8505 and this includes all GST etc....as well as liposuction. This was actually the only surgeon that mentioned lipo so I assume that if I need it, it will be an added cost to etiher of the above-mentioned Dr's.
So that's what I've found out so far.... Check out the link I've added because there might be Dr's that are closer to you (Theres at least 1 in Prince George) that do this surgery. I used this site as a starting point in my search....
Plastic Surgery-Canadian Society of It only lists Canadian board certified Dr's so it made me feel a little safer.
Anyhow, good luck on your search and let me know if you find someone !!!
