Price of tummy tuck
There is no 1 price for a tummy tuck since no 2 procedures are exactly alike. Beware of “price lists” offering cookie cutter surgery.
Cutting costs by cutting corners in a tummy tuck can result in unfavorable results or possibly serious complications.
After checking a surgeon’s background, training and experience look at before and after photos. Scars around the belly button are a dead giveaway of a tummy tuck. There should NOT be visible scars around the belly...

How MUCH is a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
My 2010 fee for a full or standard Tummy Tuck (also called Abdominoplasty) is 4,200 dollars. I purposefully set my charge to be both affordable in the Memphis market and competitive when compared to the significantly higher national charges for the same operation. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the 2009 average American Plastic surgeon’s fee for a Tummy Tuck was 4,936 dollars.
You should also be aware that different Plastic surgeons’...

In Manhattan, your total expense will be at least $10,000.
Hi!
This includes operating room costs, anesthesia, and recovery. Beware of a lower fee. They are cutting corners.
For people who cannot afford this, I recommend a teaching hospital clinic (I teach at Lenox Hill Hospital), where the surgery is done by residents in training with supervision.

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...

Tummy tuck costs
The pricing for a tummy tuck depends a lot on whether you need a full tummy tuck (most common), a mini tummy tuck, and whether liposuction is considered (very common). In addition, a laser liposuction such as SlimLipo or Smart Lipo may be used to further tighten the skin which can add to the price. After the surgical plan is determined, you have to consider the hospital and anesthesia costs (3 - 5 hours depending on the surgical plan). The overall costs will run you...

It's always good to get an idea of the costs you're looking at, but it's hard to get a real price untiul you're examined. Some patients can get by with more of a mini-tummy tuck, while others need extensive liposuction, muscle tightening, or lower body lifting.

Tummy tuck cost
Tummy tucks range from $5000 to $9000. It depends on the extent of surgery and the time involved. I would not shop based on price. This is a serious procedure and you don't want the K-mart of plastic surgery. On the other hand the most expensive surgeon, is not necessarily the best. You should be fully evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Look for the American Board of Plastic Surgery certification. Check his/her before and after photos of his/her actual patients.

Tummy Tuck cost varies
Hello,
Your answer varies by your surgeon's experience, the size of your case and your surgeon's practice philosophy. One surgeon's tummy tuck is not equivalent to another's. It also varies by your location. Some areas of the country are also more expensive than others.
The range here is substantial, but a good mid-point is around $10,000. Get several estimates and then compare for your situation and location.

Safety, effectiveness, tummy tuck prices - Shop for a tummy tuck in that order
One should never shop by price alone for something as significant as a tummy tuck. That being said, there are many of us who do these surgeries in an office operating room which can save you some money on facility fees.
In my practice a full abdominoplasty takes about 2 hrs to perform and runs around $5600. This includes the anesthesiologist (board certified) and all facility fees.
I use deep sedation and a combination of tumescent and local anesthesia for patients near their ideal body...
