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.

Thank you for your question.The cost of an abdominoplasty varies per region.In Las Vegas, we have the added benefit of having lower facility fees and relatively lower anesthesia costs due to low building costs. Las Vegas is a perfect place to have cosmetic surgery because the surgeons here are all very experienced when it comes to cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body.Typically, anesthesia cost is $1000-1200.Facility expense ranges from $2000-3000.Surgeon fee ranges from $3000-5000.Thank you for your question.- Dr. Bryson Richards (Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)

There are multiple factors that can modify the price of a tummy tuck. In the Tampa Bay area, a regular tummy tuck can average around $8,000. Meanwhile an hourglass tummy tuck which can include lipo sculpture and BBL can average $10,000 - $15,000. However, the patient medical history, location, overnight stay, facility fees and anesthesia are factors that will affect the final cost of the surgery.
