7 most expensive plastic surgery procedures

<b>Traditional tummy tuck, $7,000 to $12,000</b> With a traditional tummy tuck, which has a high satisfaction rate, Levine said, doctors remove excess fat from the belly and waist, retighten the muscle layer and contour the waist line. The surgery takes about 2 to 3 hours, but beware - the pain level is high.  <i>Recovery time:</i> 2 to 3 weeks

<b>Chin implant, $3,000 to $5,000</b> "Chin implants are great," Levine said. He explained that many people who think they need nose jobs actually just need a chin implant because their nose and chin are not proportional with one another. By adding a half-centimeter chin implant, your face can change drastically, he added.  <i>Recovery time:</i> 3 to 5 days

<b>Rhinoplasty (nose job), $6,000 to $12,000</b> A nose job only takes about 3 to 5 hours, and you can fix any nasal problems you have while reshaping your nose. The idea behind a nose job is to make it look natural, Levine said.  <i>Recovery time: </i>1 to 2 weeks 

<b>Liposuction, $5,000 to $13,000</b> The price of liposuction varies, depending on how many body parts you are applying it to - obviously you can address multiple issues at once, Levine said. Surgery time for lipo is about 2 to 4 hours, again, depending on how much work you are having done.  <i>Recovery time:</i> About a week    (iStock)

<b>Facial makeover, $10,000 to $20,000</b> A facial makeover addresses numerous facial issues at one time: a face and neck left, endoscopic brow lift, upper and lower eyelids, and maybe a component of fat grafting, Levine said. The length of the procedure takes about 3 to 6 hours. <i>Recovery time: </i>2 weeks 

<b>Mommy makeover, $15,000 to $25,000</b> This procedure is generally done on women in their mid-30s to 50s who have had children, Levine said, and it takes care of the areas that have been affected by pregnancy. The surgery includes a tummy tuck, liposuction and breast work, which can mean a breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction - or a combo of two. The procedure takes 3 to 5 hours, but does not require hospitalization.  <i>Recovery time: </i>1 to 4 weeks 

<b>Body lift, $10,000 to $25,000</b> A body lift is ideal for anyone who has undergone tremendous weight loss and is looking to get rid of excess skin, Levine said. The procedure includes a tummy tuck, a thigh lift and buttock augmentation.  "It's life-changing," said Levine, who added he's removed up to 50 pounds of excess skin on a patient. <br><br> The surgery takes about 5 to 6 hours, and the patient will have to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. <i>Recovery time:</i> 2 to 6 weeks
