This site has some estimates which are actual costs paid by Realself patients. The specific fee depends upon the patient and the surgeon. The procedure for removing an apron can be a skin only procedure limited to the lower abdomen, or could involve a full tummy tuck with tightening of the muscles of the abdomen and skin removal involving surgery up to the chest and around the back. Prices will vary considerably. A call to a local surgeon would be a good way to start getting as estimate, but until you can be seen, it will be a rough estimate. Time off work depends on the nature of work. It can be as little as 7-10 days or as much as 6 weeks for heavy work. Most can be back to full activity by 6 weeks, but the recovery continues well beyond that time frame. Best wishes.
The recovery from a tummy tuck is between one and three weeks. It depends on the extent of surgery that has to be done. The cost will vary as well with the extent of surgery
