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.
