Yes, fee is important.  But more important is the quality and experience of your surgeon -- and I would very strongly suggest a plastic surgeon rather than a general surgeon -- this is not just cutting out some tissue, there is an artistry to the surgery as well.

Moreover, even in seeming "minor" cases, there is a need to remove some surrounding fat as well.  Thus some type of lipo is usually needed.  A "minor" case  is not necessarily a simple case.

Remember, get it done right and you will have the benefits for a lifetime and long after the fee is forgotten.  But if you choose a surgeon based on fee, you may need some additional surgery to try to correct the first procedure.
