Question

41 f. Is a revision cheaper or more expensive than the first time around? How soon can you have a revision done?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Costs vary by surgeon and region as well as procedure to be performed.  Typically patients are advised to wait nine months to a year after the initial surgery before considering a revision as it may take that long to see final results.  Your surgeon will advise what is recommended for you.

Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello @Reliable410891, thank you for your question. The cost of a procedure depends on the surgical technique of the doctor performing surgery. This depends on the technology used, the areas that require treatment which for everyone are different and the experience that the specialist has. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Reliable410891,
the price is entirely practice dependent. If it was planned to be staged than the cost may be included. If its a revision, typically surgeons only ask the patient to pay for the surgery center and anesthesia.

Tummy tuck revisions can be complicated or simple. Cost depends on what you need and who you use for your revision

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

These questions you need to ask your surgeon. Every surgeon has his/her protocol about revisional surgery. You do need to be healed around 6 months prior to a revision.
