I am 50 years old , have had 4 pregnancies...never gained more than 20lbs in each pregnancy, have maintained a 118-122lb my whole life....and work out every day.....my abs are very developed(If flexed, 6 pack very evident) but as I age the skin is noticably looser from the laxity of pregnancy.....is a skin only tummy tuck reasonable for me given I have excellent muscle tone...also what is the average cost?
Answer: Tummy Tuck Costs?
Thank you for the question.
In my experience, it would be unusual for a patient who has had 4 pregnancies not to benefit from muscle plicaton at the time of tummy tuck surgery. Not having the plication will shorten surgical time (and probably recovery time) and reduce the cost of surgery. In our practice this procedure will cost $6-$8000.
Best wishes

Answer: Tummy tuck cost Thank you for your question. Tummy tuck cost will vary significantly with geography. It sounds like your operation will be a fairly easy one as tummy tucks go, but the fact that it is still a major operative procedure can not be overlooked. Going to a well-qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon is the best means to optimize your safety. With that in mind, a reputable tummy tuck in my area (New York City) is typically in the $10k-$15k range.

Answer: Addressing Loose Skin with Tummy Tuck Not every patient who undergoes abdominoplasty requires muscle plication.When patients have relatively tight muscles, the procedure can be performed without this maneuver.In the vast majority of women, who have had four pregnancies, muscle plication is usually always necessary during abdominoplasty.However, without pictures or a physical examination, it’s virtually impossible to know with certainty in your case.The cost of abdominoplasty is variable and depends on several factors, including the surgeons fee, facility fee, and anesthesia charges.Fees in the Midwestern United States typically range between $5000 and $8000.

Answer: Skin-only Tummy Tuck Price #Skin-onlyTummyTuck Price 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 (in your case yes) 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. In Orange County, the estimated range is $7000- $15,000 depending on the variables above.
