Question

Thank you so much who have answered my question. And since one doctor told me his price is $7400 I'd like to know how much your price cost for my tummy tuck. A doctor said because my belly is high I might have to do a vertical thingy? Can I ask what that is and do I have to get it? I've gotton over 10 different quotes from around the country and in the U.S. But still looking for a good doctor at a good price. My dream is 2 have Dr. Cat B. To do my tummy tuck but their prices are over my budget

The cost of a typical full
abdominoplasty is subject to regional variation in pricing and is based on the extent of the procedure, the operative time, OR fees, and anesthesia charges. Typical cost locally is similar to that found throughout the USA - $8000 to $12,000 or more.

Tummy tuck can be performed without a vertical component.  That cost is reasonable for a tummy tuck.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! Check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no! Assuming you are talking about a board certified plastic surgeon with plenty of experience in abdominoplasty, you need to find someone who you trust. This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results! Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.The prices can vary from state to state, and from city to city. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, scar gel, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 5 days, 7 days, 9 days, 14 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and every year after that forever, are around $7400. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well.

Your pictures do not show your abdomen or hips. Only after being examined by a board certified plastic surgeon could an actual price for surgery be given. Be careful in shopping for the lowest price. You should feel comfortable with the surgeon, their facility and team taking care of you before undergoing this type of procedure.

Hello. The costs for Tummy Tuck or
Abdominoplasty will vary depending on what region of the US you live in and the
physician doing the surgery. The cost can usually be broken down in to the
surgical fee, the operating room fee, and the anesthesia fee. As the OR and
anesthesia often charge by the hour, these fees can vary depending on how long
it takes to do the procedure. Someone very petite with no fat (just loose skin)
will take less time than someone larger. Total costs in the Bay Area probably
range from under 10K to close to 15K or 20K. Hope this answers your
question. See a board certified plastic surgeon in your area with an expertise
in body contouring and tummy tucks for more individualized information. Good
luck!
