Cost of tummy tuck? (Photo)

I can see that photos were attached, but a reliable estimate still requires an in-person exam. Tummy tuck cost varies widely because the operation is not the same for every patient. The price depends on whether you need a mini, full, extended, or more complex tummy tuck; whether muscle repair is needed; whether liposuction of the flanks or upper abdomen is included; how much skin needs to be removed; your medical history; and where the surgery is performed.

A true quote usually includes several separate parts: the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, facility or hospital fee, preoperative testing, compression garments, prescriptions, follow-up care, and sometimes drains or scar-care supplies. Some offices quote an all-inclusive package, while others list each part separately, so it is important to compare what is actually included.

The safest way to get a realistic estimate is to consult with one or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area. Ask what type of tummy tuck they think you need, whether muscle repair or liposuction is part of the plan, where the surgery will be done, whether the facility is accredited, what is included in the quote, and what costs would apply if a revision or unexpected issue occurs.

I would be cautious about choosing only by the lowest price. A tummy tuck is a real operation with anesthesia, recovery time, and potential complications, so surgeon training, safety, and aftercare matter a great deal. Insurance usually does not cover a cosmetic tummy tuck, although separate medical issues such as a hernia or severe skin problems may sometimes be evaluated differently. A consultation will give you a much more accurate estimate than photos alone.

Thanks for your question. At my practice the tummy tuck the tummy tuck costs $8,999, but we normally have special promotions on the procedure that could be as much as $2,000 off. I recommend scheduling a consult for a full evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with mommy makeovers and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic

Pricing for a tummy tuck varies between geographical location and surgeon to surgeon. I would recommend calling plastic surgeon offices in your area and asking for price estimates for a tummy tuck in order to get the most accurate estimates!

You would most likely require a full tummy tuck. In Toronto, where my practice is located, the cost ranges from $10,000 to $13,000. However, you may find the price to be different where you are.

Hi justamama,
Procedure costs vary from surgeon to surgeon and state to state. You can usually get a range for pricing by calling the surgeon's office you are interested in directly. A google search will also show you averages for typical procedures in plastic surgery.

If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. The cost is $11,000 in Houston, TX.
