Less Tummy Tuck Cost After Weight Loss?

I was quoted a price for a tummy tuck 2 years ago. The price was out of my range, but I have lost 70 lbs since then and would like to revisit the option. Will the cost be any lower because there is less to remove, or does that have little to do with it? Size 16 to size 8, if that tells you anything.

Lots of factors go into determining the cost of a procedure. We take into account how long a procedure will take and the risk/benefit ratio to the patient when calculating costs, among alot of other things. I can only speak for myself, but more than likely I would offer you some kind of a price reduction since your surgery may be... more
