There are some things that diet and exercise can’t fix, including loose skin and fat around your abdomen and flanks.

Thankfully, a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can take care of both! Surgery can get expensive, so it’s natural to ask: “How expensive is a tummy tuck?” This can be hard to answer, because so much of the cost is dependent on the person.

Here’s the Scoop on Some of the Factors That Affect the Cost

Type of Tummy Tuck

There are three traditional tummy tuck options: the mini tummy tuck, a full tummy tuck, and an extended tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck consists of fat and skin removal just over the belly button area, while an extended tuck also includes the flanks and back. The type and extent of the procedure will be a huge determining factor when it comes to price.  

Add-Ons 

In some cases, a tuck itself won’t be enough to get you the results you’re looking for. Adding on procedures like liposuction can increase the total cost of your procedure, but allow you to save on total surgical costs. 

Surgical Costs

Costs of surgery, such as anesthesia, hospital or facility fees, post-surgery prescriptions, all increase the cost of a tummy tuck. So, your cost will vary depending on where you have your procedure performed.  

The Bottom Line on How Expensive Is a Tummy Tuck Is That You Need a Surgical Consult

How expensive is a tummy tuck? The ballpark range is pretty wide: between $4,000 and $20,000. So, how can you narrow that down to what your cost will be? The best way is to schedule a consultation with a reputable and experienced cosmetic surgeon.
