How Much Does a Skin-only Tummy Tuck Cost?

In the Houston area, the cost of a tummy tuck can vary from about 6000 - 9000 depending on the overall time it takes for the procedure and whether you are adding liposuction to the mix.  A skin only tummy tuck can still involve doing the same procedure if you are going above the belly button to remove as much loose skin as possible.  In addition, you have the exposure to tighten the underlying muscles, so you might consider tightening this as it may help enhance your form.  Good luck.

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.

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.

The cost of a tummy tuck varies depending on the surgeon and city. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay about $7500 to $9000 for a skin-only tummy tuck in Toronto, ON.

#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.

Tummy tuck price can vary depending on factors you noted, namely, how large the patient is and whether muscle work need to be done.  You should expect the typical cost to be from $8000 to $9000 inclusive of all costs.

Pricing really depends on the surgeon, location and type of tummy tuck. Generally speaking, mini tummy tucks range from $6000 to $7000 while full tummy tuck are more, ranging from $8000 to $9000.

IF you are providing an accurate assessment of your condition, then you may be an excellent candidate for a skin only abdominoplasty. These tend to range from 5-8,000 for total costs.

As you know, a tummy tuck does the things that you can't accomplish with diet and exercise: remove and tighten loose skin, repair muscles that have been separated, and remove localized fat. Since your only issue is skin laxity, you may very well benefit from a skin-only abdominoplasty. If the muscles have been pushed apart from pregnancy, they cannot be exercised back into position, so that is decided on a case-by-case basis. Pricing for abdominoplasty isn't typically dependent on which components of the procedure are done however.

There are two basic types of tummy tucks: mini and full. The type that you need will dictate the price, and it based on the area to be treated rather than whether only skin is removed. A mini is for the area below your belly button and a full is for both above and below your belly button. A mini is $5800 and a full is $8000. These prices include all fees (surgical facility, surgeon's fees, anesthesia, all appointments). At my practice in Toronto, Ontario, the price also includes scar therapy and a compression garment. Medications are separate.
