Tummy tuck
What it is
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes loose skin and fat from the abdomen and often tightens the abdominal muscles.
The site counts a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck, a smaller operation on the lower abdomen, separately.
Every operation has risks; discuss them with a board-certified surgeon.

Context
What moves the price
Draft. Written by us from what practices publish, not yet reviewed by a clinician.
Full or mini. A mini abdominoplasty is a shorter operation over a smaller area and is priced as its own procedure.
Whether liposuction is done at the same time, which practices sometimes quote as part of the price and sometimes as an addition.
Where the operation happens. A hospital operating room, an accredited surgery centre and an office-based suite are three different facility fees for the same procedure.
How long you are asleep. Anesthesia is usually billed by time, so a longer operation costs more than a shorter one at the same surgeon’s fee.
Who gives the anesthetic. An anesthesiologist and a nurse anesthetist are billed differently, and some practices leave this out of the quoted price entirely.
Whether more than one procedure is done in the same sitting. Practices often price a combination below the sum of its parts, because the facility and anesthesia are shared.
What happens if a revision is needed. Some prices include the surgeon’s fee for a revision within a stated period and some do not; the facility and anesthesia are rarely included either way.
