What is the average cost for abdominoplasty with hysterectomy since I do have insurance and my Dr said everything will be billed by her except the abdominoplasty ? I'm left with frequent rashes and irritated skin under the flap of skin that is very uncomfortable . I'm fairly small, but even diet & exercise won't get rid of this ugly uncomfortable extra skin .

Answer: Tummy tuck with hysterectomy A hysterectomy is usually an insurance covered procedure where as a tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure. Whether both procedures should be done at the same time depends on your overall health status. In addition, the operative times required to perform both procedure needs to be considered. I work with an experienced OB/GYN who can perform a hysterectomy in 1 hour or less and a routine tummy tuck takes me 2 hours or less. That said, it is important that your plastic surgeon discuss risks of bleeding from your hysterectomy procedure and possible increased risk for blood clots/DVT. One option would be to treat you with Lovenox ( a blood thinner to prevent blood clots). The first step would be to see a board certified PS to learn more about your options so you can make the best decisions.Best wishes,Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Answer: Average cost for abdominoplasty with hysterectomy Surgical fees vary greatly across the country and even in the same area. Surgeons who own their own nationally accredited facility typically can offer lower fees than other surgeons. Many plastic surgeons do not do tummy tuck with hysterectomy so ensure that you are not compromising quality for either procedure.
