Price of a tummy tuck
Tummy tuck prices vary by location and surgeon. You have to be able to compare total costs. Check to see if the fees includes all expenses such as, surgeon fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee, garments if needed, lab fees. Some offices even add extra fees not seen in the original quote.
Check to see if liposuction of the abdomen is included or not. There is usually additional fees for liposuction of other areas but abdominal lipo should be included int the TT fee. Also Mini abdominoplasty costs less than full abdominoplasty. Our office gives a global fee for the procedure which means there are no additional fees.
Prices vary widely across the country as well as globally. The ASPS has reported fees for different parts of the country as well as by national average. They reported in 2012 that the national average SURGEONS FEE (not the anesthesiologist or operating room) was 5241.00. I believe that in the Dallas area you will find excellent and very experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeons with all inclusive cost in the range of 7500.00 plus or minus 1000.00.
In addition there are several variations of tummy tuck requiring very different amounts of operating room time, a factor that strongly influences the cost. A mini tummy tuck on a very lean patient could be in the 4000.00 range while a very extensive one following massive weight loss requiring 3 or 4 times longer operating time time could certainly be well over 10,000.00, and quite a bit higher with additional liposuction or overnight hospital stay.
Price of a tummy tuck depend on types of abdominoplasties. Some are skin only and some are major removal of abdominal tissue.
Usually this procedure is done in an out patient facility, under general anesthesia.
Professional fee range: $3000 – $6000
Facility Fee: $2000 – $2500
Anesthesia Fee MD/DO: $900 – $1200
Mini-abdominoplasties may cost a total of $3500
The total price of a tummy tuck can vary depending on the length of the procedure and the location of the surgery (hospital, surgery center, office based). The cost of the procedure, including operating room fees, anesthesia, surgeon’s fee, garment can range from 6000-10,000.
This may or may not include liposuction of the love handles as well. Please consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons before making you decision. Cost should not be a major factor in your decision making process.
In Mexico, the average price of a tummy tuck is about $4500 USD but that is without liposuction. I personally incorporate liposuction with a tummy tuck because with the liposuction the final result is not achieved. There is a combination of excess skin combined with fat deposits. The combination of both will give the best shape and form to the abdomen area.
Normally a liposuction in the abdomen and waist area is about $3500 USD but if a tummy tuck is combined with liposuction the price is about $6000 USD. For International patients that are interested in coming abroad for plastic surgery get a special package price including medication, bloodwork, transfers and compression garment along with all post surgery checkups
Prices for prosedures vary from person to person and based on many factors, our starting price at Vanity Cosmetic Surgery is $3000 If you like give us a call and we can send us some of your photos and we can make a better assessment.
A straightforward tummy tuck without liposuction probably averages $7000 or so depending upon area of the country and the amount of skin and fat that needs to be removed. Usually liposuction as an adjunct produces a nicer contour.
Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon’s website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
Before you shop for surgery by price, realize that you “purchase” completely different services from different surgeons in different settings. More on that below.
The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons most recent national statistics show that the average MD fee is $5,400, but don’t include the other costs (facility, anesthesia, etc.).
Our office as of 2013 estimates various tummy tuck procedures costing $6,400-$8,200. This includes mini- or modified abdominoplasty through standard and extended versions.
Our estimates include Dr. Graham’s surgical fee, our nationally accredited private surgical facility, MD anesthesiologist services, postop anesthetic pump if indicated, special garment, and first year’s follow up care.
If you select additional procedures such as Liposuction, there are additional costs.
As I mentioned, “purchasing” a surgical procedure is not comparable to purchasing an automobile. There is no engineered standard production. Each one is not the same as another. Therefore shopping tummy tuck by price won’t get you very far.
It is better to think of selecting the services of a knowledgeable professional adviser. Your have to do your best to evaluate the professional, and they have to try to help you reach your goals.
The cost of a tummy tuck varies by region, outpatient vs inpatient setting, type of anesthesia provider, and extent of the operation. In my practice the total cost (including anesthesia and facility fee) is in the $7000-$9000 range.
Tummy tucks will run from $5000-$9000 depending on a few factors. Mini tummy tuck is going to be lowest price. Tummy tuck will be in-between and what most of our patients desire and we provide is a tummy tuck with “around the world” lipo. We go after the love handles and back fat to give you a full bikini ready contoured look.
The costs for a tummy tuck depend on how much work is needed to meet your expectations. Many patient only need a mini-tummy tuck with minimal contouring of the upper abdomen and flanks, while other patients may require, full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
Depending on your health and the extent of the surgery, your board certified Plastic surgeon may choose to perform the surgery in the office, surgicenter or hospital. The range for the total costs in our area is $4500-$12,000.
Cost of tummy tuck depends on the complexity of how much liposuction needs to be done. The cost including anesthesia and facility can range from 6000-12000. Make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery) and facility is certified.
