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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Tummy tuck revisions can be complicated or simple. Cost depends on what you need and who you use for your revision
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.
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.
If you are requesting a revision Umbilicoplasty, then yes, revising it with careful attention to suturing may lead to a better result. The cost should be much lower if returning to the same surgeon. Best wishesDr Taranow
Plastic surgeons will have different views and their own charges for doing revision work.Typically plastic surgeons do not charge for doing revisions on their own patients.It is customary for patients to pay facility and anesthesia fees when indicated.I know surgeons would charge double for taking care of other surgeons complications.Often it depends on how much work is involved. If the revision involves redoing the entire procedure then it’s fair to get paid for doing a full tummy tuck.Full tummy tuck it’s a very definitive procedure.Once done it may be limited in what is possible in regards to improvements.Are you post to do a single picture showing an excess of scar tissue around your belly button.There’s a high likelihood of you healing the same way if you’re having the procedure done again.Repositioning the belly button well also add a new scar to your abdomen.That may not be adjust to find a procedure.I suggest having multiple in person consultations for local board-certified plastic surgeons if following up with your provider is insufficient.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD

It's difficult to answer what may be causing your contour concerns without more information or an examination. If muscle repair was not done, that could cause a rounded appearance to the abdomen. If it was done, it could be that it failed (it would be uncommon for the whole area to fail...
