Hello mvillanueva, thank you for your question regarding the cost of a tummy tuck in Las Vegas.

I know this question was asked in 2009, but prices can vary significantly based on several factors. Here are the key elements that typically affect the cost of a tummy tuck:

Surgeon's Experience and Reputation: Highly experienced and well-known plastic surgeons may charge more for their expertise and skill.

Location: The cost of living and demand for cosmetic surgery in a specific area can influence prices. Las Vegas, being a major city, might have higher prices compared to smaller towns.

Type of Tummy Tuck: There are different types of tummy tucks (mini, full, extended), and the complexity of the procedure can affect the price.

Facility Fees: The cost of the surgical facility or hospital where the procedure is performed can vary. Accredited and well-equipped facilities may charge more.

Anesthesia Fees: The type of anesthesia used and the anesthesiologist's fees can also impact the overall cost.

Additional Procedures: Sometimes, patients combine a tummy tuck with other procedures, like liposuction, which can increase the total cost.

Pre- and Post-Operative Care: Consultations, follow-up appointments, and necessary medical tests can add to the overall expense.

While $5000 is a substantial amount, it's important to ensure you are not compromising on quality and safety by opting for a less expensive option. A tummy tuck is a major surgery, and choosing a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial for achieving the best results and minimizing risks.

I recommend scheduling consultations with a few board-certified plastic surgeons in Las Vegas to get a better understanding of the current prices and what is included in the total cost. They can provide personalized quotes based on your specific needs and goals.

Good luck. I hope I’ve answered your question regarding the cost of a tummy tuck in Las Vegas.

Costs for a tummy tuck

The cost will depend upon the type of tummy
tuck anesthesia skill find an experience of the surgeon. There’ll be regional
differences. Approximate costs can be found on real self, and other websites
such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Payment plans can be offered through Care
Credit, local banks, credit cards, and other companies such as Prosper. Some plans have 12-18 months interest free.

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. Las Vegas will be different, but at least for reference, in Orange County, the estimated range is $7000- $15,000 depending on the variables above. #tummytuckcost

Pricing really depends on the surgeon, location and type of tummy tuck. Generally speaking, mini tummy tucks range from $6000 to $7000 while full tummy tuck are more, ranging from $8000 to $9000. However, you should discuss this with the surgeon you would like to have perform your surgery.Another factor that should be considered is if liposuction is performed as well. If yes, this may be more or integrated into the price. 

The price for Tummy Tuck Surgery also called abdominoplasty surgery can vary by doctor and by individual patient.  When you see an advertised price for a procedure, you need to ask what that price includes.  Are anesthesia and operating room fees included?  What about postoperative garments?  What kind of tummy tuck is being performed?  Is the belly button being moved?  Are there areas that need liposuction such as the flanks and pubic area?  Is there a hernia that needs to be repaired?   Surgery is a complex undertaking and plastic surgery is not, and should not be a one size fits all profession.  In my Las Vegas practice we see a large number of patients requesting tummy tuck surgery.  Each patient receives individualized attention to their specific needs.  In the end, we believe our prices are reflective of the quality of work that we provide.  You wouldn't go to a discount brain surgeon if you needed one.  Don't be fooled by low advertised prices which don't reflect the actual price for surgery.  If you browse this site you will see the various prices paid by individuals in your community.  RealSelf does provide an average cost for most procedures in your area as well.  Good luck!   

Yes, you are a good candidate for an abdominoplasty. Pick a plastic surgeon based on qualifications and board certification in plastic surgery. Try to stay close to home. If you have a complication you do not want to travel many hours to see your plastic surgeon. Your surgical procedure, abdominoplasty with liposuction of the posterior hips, flanks and upper back would take approximately 3.5 hours. Average cost in Atlanta is in the 7K to 8K range.

The cost for tummy tuck like other cosmetic surgery varies considerably across the country and even in the same area. South Florida tends to have lower fees then more expensive areas such as New York or Los Angeles. We charge starting at $4000 + MD Anesthesia related expenses for a modified tummy tuck. With a complete tummy tuck being more. Since you can get quality work at lower costs, patients will travel from throughout the state, the country, and internationally to have surgery in South Florida. To ensure that you are receiving quality work with personalized care at the most cost effective prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that own their own nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained at the highest level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have incentive to hire and train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient and enjoyable), to ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage referral), and to eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete effectively).

Thank you for your post.In considering the cost of a Tummy Tuck, you should look at the components of the cost:1. Surgeons Fee. This is usually the greatest part of the overall cost and can vary immensly from location to location (just like the cost of living varies in each location) as well as in the same location, it can vary from surgeon to surgeon. Usually, a surgeon commanding a higher price is very experienced and has very good results reliably, and is very busy due to the above.2. Anesthesia Fee. This can vary depending on if a board certified MD anesthesiologist is used, vs. a nurse anesthetist, vs. a non-certified nurse, vs. only local anesthesia (an awake procedure). Obviously, the further you go down the line, the cheaper the price. You do get what you pay for.3. Facility Fee. This can vary if it is a a state/medicare certified facility, vs. the back of a doc's office.4. Accessories. This includes things like a pain pump, Exparol injections (72 hour long lasting numbing), garments, tissue glues, etc. These are not necessary for a great result, just add to the comfort of a result.As with anything in life, buyer beware of risks of cutting corners in surgery.Real Self has average costs of every operations in your location that you can peruse before seeing a surgeon, but keep in mind that the above quality can change from office to office. Choose a surgeon that you are very comfortable with and is board certified.In general, a revision costs less than the original tummy tuck, but this depends on the extent of the revision and what is being done.Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD
