I had two C-sections and have some lose skin right over the scar. I want a mini tummy tuck. The estimate I was given over the phone was between $7,500 and $8,500. I live in Houston, TX. I thought it was a bit pricy. Am I wrong?
Answer: Estimated cost for a mini tummy tuck $7,500 - $8,500. I live in Houston, TX. Reasonable? If a minitummy tuck is appropriate, then this may be high, but it may include a great deal of liposuction.Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of tummy tucks each year, has great reviews, and has great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Estimated cost for a mini tummy tuck $7,500 - $8,500. I live in Houston, TX. Reasonable? Hello, and thank-you for your question.The cost of a tummy tuck generally varies depending on the extent of surgery (mini, full, extended tummy-tuck, amount of liposuction required), operative time and geographic location. You can see average prices in your area under the cost tab of the procedure pages on RealSelf. Take a look at the attached web reference for our prices.When comparing prices for plastic surgical procedures it is important to compare quotes that reflect the total cost:1. The quote needs to include the cost of the procedure, pre-op and post-op care, supplies such as garments, cost of the surgical facility and anesthesiologist, and cost of over night stay if required.2. Board certified MD, Nurse anesthetist, ect)3. Qualifications of the Surgeon.Be careful of what appears to be a bargain. You are considering an elective surgical procedure, but be aware that it is your body and your health. Look for value rather than price. I would recommend a board certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in body contouring. Best of luck!Andrew Lyos, MD, FACS

Answer: Cost for a mini TT? The price is dependent on many factors - is it a mini, full or extended abdominoplasty such as a fleur de lis pattern where redundant skin is removed from the center as well as the bottom of the abdomen? Is it skin only or does it include tightening of the muscles? Will Liposuction also be necessary? Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay or in an independent out-patient facility? Will a surgical assistant be needed? Will a board-certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used? Will an (anti) pain pump be used? All of these factors influence the cost. In Orange County, the estimated range is $7000- $15,000+ depending on the variables above.

Answer: Estimated cost for a mini tummy tuck $7,500 - $8,500. I live in Houston, TX. Reasonable? When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery listed on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites (including attached link) as well. In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Again, I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. Best wishes.
