How do the costs and results of a floating abdominoplasty compare to a traditional TT?

Hello. Great question. However, prices vary by surgeon. An in person examination is needed to determine whether you are a good candidate for a standard tummy tuck or a floating tummy tuck. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Thanks for your inquiry, an abdominal float is technique used to address the muscle repair when there is not much skin above the umbilicus or if a patient has a high belly button.

If you don't have much excess skin of your lower abdomen but need abdominal muscle wall tightening, then an umbilical float may be an option for you.This works best in patients with a higher location of their belly button to start. There are no scars around the belly button, but the position will be slightly lower on the abdomen once the surgery is complete. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person to see if this is an option for you.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
