The fee for a tummy tuck will vary from surgeon to surgeon and in different parts of the country. You likely need a good two weeks to heal before going back to light duty, although some can do so sooner.
Tummy tucks usually cost 8-10K depending on where you receive care and the extent of the surgical procedure. Down time is 2-3weeks depending on what you need to be doing. If you are returning to a desk job, typically patients can take 1 week off of work. If you have small children, an extra set of hands will be helpful for 1-2weeks. All plastic surgeons have varying post op protocols. I recommend you visit with one of us and decide if the procedure is right for you.
