Hello,
Thank you for your question. The nice thing about a panniculectomy is that often it is covered by insurance. The cost of a panniculectomy depends on the amount of tissue to be removed and the relative cost of surgery in the geographical area. In the United States, the surgery is typicall $6,000 to $10,000.
Best wishes,
Dr. Moein

Abdominal panniculectomy is one of the more commonly
performed procedures in massive weight loss patients. The cost of this
procedure is variable and depends on several factors including the surgeon’s
fee, facility fee, and anesthesia charges. Fees in the Midwestern United States
typically range between $6,000 and $10,000.

The cost of abdominal wall panniculectomy is important,
but patients should also consider their surgeon’s experience and
qualifications. It’s absolutely essential that you’re able to communicate and
have a comfort level with the surgeon who will be performing your surgery.

They usually cost from $9,000 to $15,000 depending where you&rsquo;re located.  If you are in Manhattan, the price may be even more.

Thank you for the question.

	Congratulations on your successful weight loss and healthy lifestyle.

	The procedure you are considering will vary  from one practice to another and is dependent on many factors.

	I would suggest personal visits with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Please make sure you make decisions, not  primarily based on  costs,  but on the quality/ safety of the  treatment plan and end results.

	I hope this helps.
