How much is a Tummy tuck and do you do payments or how does that work I have heard ppl say that they put a deposit down?

Hello, thank you for your question. Each PS has their own #paymentprotocol. Some offer in-house payments. There are also credit plans called #CareCredit and #Prosper which can help with the cost. You should not think of the costs when researching board certified plastic surgeons. Choose a PS who is skilled, has many great testimonies and before and after pictures. Sometimes cost equals quality. You can check on Realself to locate costs. There is a physician in #Anchorage who may be someone you can research. Best wishes to you!

 Tummy tuck factors vary significantly for a number of good
reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide
range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My
recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want
the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link
on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your
procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:


1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital
with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s
office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average
charges for most areas of the USA.


2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or
General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist,
or an RN be used?

3. Experience and
training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon
board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery

4. Length and
Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it
will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed
during the same surgery?Always insist on a board certified surgeon

I appreciate your question.

Prices vary by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of procedure etc.  I would recommend that you go to The American Society of Plastic Surgery website and look for a list of board certified plastic surgeons in your area.  You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes before scheduling your consultations.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Thank you for the question. I recommend CareCredit to my patients in need of financial assistance with the cost of cosmetic surgery. If CareCredit denies your application, I suggest meeting with your plastic surgeon to see if he/she is willing to set up a monthly payment plan prior to your procedure.  Also, please see a board certified plastic surgeon who routinely performs these procedures. Sometimes non-plastic surgeons will offer lower prices for these procedures -- This should be a red flag! Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon for the best outcome. I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck.

Costs will vary amongst doctors and the region you are in.  It would be best to get consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in your area so that your doctor will be close by for follow up or if you have a complication. Most offices offer finance options such as Care Credit and Prosper and also in house payment plans.  Good luck!

Hi, Jenn1201The cost of tummy tuck is a combination of surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, and facility fee.It depends on the duration of the surgery, surgeon's expertise/experience, and geography.Try to select a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.  Although tummy tuck is a safe surgery, you want to be followed up by your plastic surgeon post-operatively so that he/she can monitor your progress.Once you reach your stable, goal weight, visit with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and find out about the cost of the surgery, risks, benefits, and alternatives.  Each plastic surgeon can have a different financing options/plans.Best regards.

The price seems great, but I am concerned that your surgeon is claiming that he/she is going to perform muscle plication, tummy tuck, and liposuction of the abdomen. This is a recipe for a disaster as you can easily compromise blood flow to your abdominal skin. Please contact a few more surgeons.
