There are average fees for tummy tuck without lipo across the nation but it really depends on how much work you will be as a patient for the surgeon.
There can be much less expensive tummy tucks and it could be from the same surgeon but those may require much less work.
Every surgery has a certain amount of planning and work involved in determining the price.
Cheaper is usually only cheaper and almost never better. The price range is good. (Ricardo A. Meade, MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)

The quote you have been given ($7 000) sounds reasonable for a traditional procedure even without the liposuction. (Otto Joseph Placik, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Price quote for a tummy tuck
This price quote for a tummy tuck including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee and facility fee sounds reasonable. (Karol A. Gutowski, MD, FACS, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Cost for a tummy tuck
The costs depending on the amount of excess skin to be removed, time for surgery, hospital/anesthesia costs, and costs for any overnight stays if needed. The total cost for a tummy tuck (all-inclusive) by a board certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery) in the Houston area is $6000-$9,000.
It is very common for plastic surgeons to perform adjunctive liposuction at the time of your tummy tuck procedure. This may add cost to your procedure. Overall, the cost of your procedure, although important, should not be the primary driver in selecting your surgeon. Look for proper training experience, a connection/comfort-level with your surgeon an his staff, and desirable results evidenced through a plethora of before/after photos. (C. Bob Basu, MD, FACS, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
Tummy Tuck Costs
In my geographic region this is a very reasonable cost $7,000. Costs do by geographic region and I would recommend consultation with at least 3 board certified plastic surgeons to fully understand your options and make the most educated decision. Liposuction is commonly employed with a tummy tuck to contour the waist and flanks.
Depending on your surgeon’s technique and your anatomy, it may not be necessary to add liposuction to your procedure. I wish you a safe and healthy recovery. (Paul S. Gill, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
This seems quite reasonable for a tummy tuck and it is very good that you feel comfortable with your surgeon. You can always “shop around” and see what other surgeons are charging. (Jerome Edelstein, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
