Cost of Tummy Tuck in Houston, Texas?

Hello and thank you for your question. As far as cost is concerned, it depends upon the geographical area in which you live as well as the experience/expertise of the surgeon as well as the patient's individual goals.  This procedure should be performed in an accredited surgery center with a Board Certified Anesthesiologist.  Itis typically more cost effective to combine procedures as there will be one OR and anesthesia fee. I recommend that you consult with a couple of  Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area in order to come to an informed decision and help to come up with a surgical plan best for you and your budget.

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! Check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no! Assuming you are talking about a board certified plastic surgeon with plenty of experience in abdominoplasty, you need to find someone who you trust. This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results! Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.The prices can vary from state to state, and from city to city. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, scar gel, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 5 days, 7 days, 9 days, 14 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and every year after that forever, are around $7400. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well.

The price of Tummy Tuck depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request. 
In my practice, prices for Tummy Tuck surgery reaches from 4250 Euro up to 6000 Euro range, and it also includes the travel package such as accommodation, local transfers, and language assistance.

Thank you for your question. The cost varies depending the surgeon and the location. My recommendation is to be consulted by board certified plastic surgeon, specialized in Body Contour, who knows individualize each patient to give you the better advice.

Hello and thank you for your question! As mentioned before the pricing of a tummy tuck depends on many different factors. These can include but not be limited to...1) the complexity of the surgery 2) Is liposuction needed 3) The length of the surgery and some other factors. Tummy tucks can start as low as about $5,000 and can go up to as high as about $10,000-15,000. Our tummy tuck pricing for a straight forward tummy tuck starts at about $5,000. I hope this helps and please make sure you are being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon!Ankur Mehta MDBoard Certified by The American Board of Plastic SurgerySugar Land, Tx
