Is a Tummy Tuck Without Muscle Repair Cheaper?

In most cases, women who have had pregnancies usually require tightening of the muscles as part of the tummy tuck in order to get the best contour possible-- this is really a critical step.  Simply removing the excess skin and fat usually won't get you the full benefit, and as with most cosmetic surgery procedures, we want to give you the best chance at an excellent result during your procedure. I don't think the cost would be any different, but more importantly, if the muscle is not repaired, there will likely still be a bulge present that often cannot be corrected with exercise alone. 

The cost is the same regardless of whether or not the muscle repair is done, but the recovery time is longer if you do. Though no one can tell for sure by looking at a picture, but with a history of several pregnancies it is very likely that the muscles have separated and your results would not be as good if you forego the repair. Good plastic surgeons don't like to do procedures where they know the results will be less than ideal so I expect that you will hear unanimous agreement that the repair should be done.
