Tummy Tuck Costs
 
The cost of a tummy tuck operation and the associated fees, doctor visits, and medications can vary widely and will depend on several factors.  For example, if you only need a mini-tummy tuck, the cost will be less than if you are getting a full tummy tuck. Call us today to schedule your Free Consultation or attend a Patient Education Seminar. 

There are three basic parts abdominoplasty cost: the surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the facility where the operation takes place.  The fee for your surgeon will vary depending on the procedure.   Average surgeon fees are from $3,000 to $8,500.  The fee for the anesthesiologist is typically $500 to $700, and facility fees can range from $750 to $1,500.  Fees related to surgery are based partly on how long the surgery lasts because rates are often billed hourly. Call us today to schedule your Free Consultation or attend a Patient Education Seminar. 

Additional tummy tuck costs often include preoperative consultations and exams, unforeseen minor corrections or treatments, as well as support garments, leave from work, and any other lab costs and medicating.

Surgery Duration and Hospital Costs
 
The procedure often requires 2-5 hours in surgery. Whereas a mini tummy tuck can be performed in 1-3 hours and the patient usually goes home the same day, a full tummy tuck operation takes about 3-5 hours. An outpatient operation will benefit the client from using a caretaker for the first day of operation.

Surgeon Experience and Training Affect Cost
 
When choosing a surgeon to perform your abdominoplasty, it is important to look at their level of skill and experience.  Your doctor should be certified from the American Board of Plastic Surgery, as board certification requires extensive surgical education and training.  They should also be experienced in abdomioplasty.  These board-certified doctors tend to charge higher fees than other doctors, but due to their rigorous training and qualifications, you will be more likely to receive the best and up-to-date treatment, reduce the risk of complications, and help ensure a successful outcome.

Payment Plans are Available
 
Because the tummy tuck procedure is an optional cosmetic operation, it is not normally covered by insurance plans.  We  accept payment plans for people who cannot pay the entire amount at one time.  Ask your physician about these payment plans before you make any decisions.
