How much does a tummy tuck cost

Question

Who is a great doctor in Dallas that can do it

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Cost 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?

Thank you for your question. I practice in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have colleagues who practice in the DFW area so I'm familiar with your region. Fortunately there is an abundance of well trained Board Certified plastic surgeons in your area. I imagine that Real Self could give you a listing of their featured surgeons in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.As to the costs of this procedure, DFW charges are probably comparable to what we charge in our practice: $8500 to $12,000. This is all inclusive. (surgery center, anesthesiologist, operation, follow up care, revsional surgery if needed)
