How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost?

Thanks for your question.  Tummy tuck prices can vary all around the country.  Some geographic areas are simply more expensive than others.  Some surgeons charge more and some charge less.  Some surgeons price the surgery by your height and weight while others may use time in the operating room to give a reasonable estimate.  Full tummy tucks are generally more expensive than mini tummy tucks.  Tummy tucks for massive of weight loss can be more extensive and cost more.

In my own practice I publish pricing for average patients which I try to adhere to.  Some surgeries may take longer and some may take less but I find that quoting an average price is more comfortable for the patients.

I agree with others on this site that ultimately you should not choose your doctor by price, but choose based upon your confidence his or her level and experience.  Saving a few dollars will never make you happy if you've not chosen the right physician.

Surgical planning involves many factors and changes on the needs of each patient. For this reason, a consultation is necessary in order to establish the appropriate procedure for you and the accompanying costs.

Thanks for your question. In my practice the price varies between hospitals even though there is no difference in treatment or follow up and support. The price for a full tummy tuck is between either £5997.50 or £7161.00 in the two hospitals from which I operate. With additional liposuction this will be either £7400.00 or £7880.00. The price includes follow up and two garments.

The tummy tuck costs starts from £5990 for mini tummy tuck and £7850 for full tummy tuck. A lipoabdominoplasty would be £8850. A consultation will be required to assess and review what type of procedure you would need and what will give you the desired result. An initial video consultation can be requested to get opinion about the procedures.

Thank you very much for this relevant question. The price for abdominoplasty varies largely depending on the area you are looking to have the surgery done. We here in Jamaica are able to offer this service at a high standard for less than $5000. My advice to you is however not let the price for the procedure be your only or most important advisor. Make sure that the doctor you chose is a board certified Plastic Surgeon with relevant experience. Have a consultation with the doctor that would be treating you and don't feel afraid to ask questions. You must feel comfortable and safe. Have ea wonderful day and greetings from the beautiful island of Jamaica

As with all plastic surgery procedures, the cost will vary from geographical region to region as well as from surgeon to surgeon. In addition, the cost may vary depending on the time necessary for each patient. In other words, the time and therefore the cost to perform a tummy tuck on one person could be very different than for another person. In my office, the cost of a tummy tuck is comprised of the surgeon's fee, the operating room fee, the anesthesia fee and an initial compression garment. In addition, there would be an additional fee for an overnight stay when applicable. In general, the total cost for a tummy tuck in my practice ranges from about $5500 to $10,500. I realize that is a large range, but it accounts for the different types of tummy tucks (mini, modified, full, extended) as well as the variation in patient sizes. We provide each patient with an exact fee quote at the time of his or her consultation. All routine follow up care is also included. I hope that helps. 

Thank you for your question. Prices can vary anywhere from $7,000 to $16,000 depending on location and surgeon. Hope this information helps. Best of luck.

Believe it or not, the answer to this question is very difficult! That is because  there are so many factors that go into pricing of the tummy tuck. Certainly, one is your geography. Prices in Beverly Hills may be different than that in Omaha, Nebraska.  Prices can also vary significantly from doctor to doctor even in the same place.More importantly, I think the biggest variable in cost for tummy tuck is based on how the operation is customized to your specific needs. This is not a cookie-cutter operation! Many patients  can benefit from liposuction of different parts of their abdomen or torso to turn a good result into something truly exceptional.  Some patients may have hernias that need to be fixed. Some patients may want a full mommy or daddy makeover and have work done elsewhere on their body at the same time. There is one thing I just cannot emphasize enough: the single most important thing in deciding on having a tummy tuck or any plastic surgery procedure is that you choose a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has a proven track record in the procedure you are interested in. It's your body… Make sure that it is being cared for by the best!Dr. Gabbay.

Cost depends upon what type of tummy tuck you are having.  A small scar revision of your C-Sx scar or a "Mini" TTuck take an hour or so but usually we add on liposuction and perform additional procedures at the same time.  Next is a "Modified" TTuck which may be skin only with no muscle tightening or a much larger skin removal.  we usually do liposuction here as well.Finally a Full TTuck involves removing all of the skin from your belly button to your suprapubic area just above the top of your pubic bone and we tighten muscle and perform liposuction.  This procedure ranges from 2-3 1/2 hours depending on how much skin and fat we are removing.Including anesthesia and the facility with surgeons fee our prices range from $5-12,000.  You must be seen by us or a plastic surgeon to see the scope and develop and plan and discuss with you the entire informed consent process and help determine your goals and which procedure is best for you.All my BestBrad Bengtson MD FACS

Not all tummy tucks are the same. Some tummy tuck procedures are straight forward, while others may be complex and can take much longer to perform. In other words, it can take me anywhere from 2 hours to 5 hrs to do a tummy tuck based on the complexity. Therefore, the pricing can vary significantly.
Other issues such as your private health insurance status and whether you fit the criteria to be able to claim a rebate also has a massive difference on the potential out-of-pocket costs. These factors relating to your tummy tuck procedure will be discussed with you at the time of your initial consultation.
Whilst many of the smaller tummy tucks procedures may be deemed a “cosmetic” procedure, many of the larger tummy tucks are far more of a functional procedure. This is because for these people the belly in the pre-surgery state is often a significant functional concern to that individual. Loose skin, sweat rash and ulceration within the belly button and abdominal folds, a fatty apron, a low hanging pubic area, hygiene issues, relationship issues, clothing issues etc.
These are all concerns that affect the day to day functioning of that individual, and the surgery is designed to first and foremost improve function, with the secondary benefit being an improved appearance.

The cost of a standard full Tummy Tuck can vary surgeon to surgeon and by location. What is important to consider in this question is that the Total cost is given. We offer complete package fee schedules that include the major fees: Surgeons fee, Operative room fee, and Anesthesia fee and all follow up appointments. Our TT fee starts at $8000. Dallas fees that Im familiar with start at around $5000 for a mini TT and range upward to $12,000 for complete TT. Other higher fees can be related to hospital based OR and Anesthesia Fees or other circumstances. Make sure you ask those questions when making your appointment.
