Tummy tuck prices vary by region and surgeon

Prices for tummy tucks can vary based on the part of the country you live in as well as the individual surgeon. These can vary from $6000 or less to over $10000.

A couple of things to consider:

  • The fee you may be quoted may only be the surgeon's fee. Remember, there will also be a fee for the facility (hospital operating room or an ambulatory surgery center) as well as the anesthesia.
  • Be careful with those who advertise bargain basement prices. Remember, in the end it's your body and health, and you want to have the best possible result at a price that is fair for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your particular part of the country.
