Cost of Tummy Tuck - Is it for You!!!

Cost of Tummy Tuck - Abdominoplasty Procedure

So you can't seem to loose that extra weight and saggy skin around the tummy and your wondering what the cost of a tummy tuck is? Many people, including myself, have finally given in and taken the easy way out.

The problem is, your wondering if you can afford the cost of the tummy tuck. Fear not, I was in the same shape as you and I understand exactly how you feel.

In fact, I had just delivered my 2nd baby girl and I tried and tried for six months to lose the weight - it just didn't happen. So I began to research and this is what I found.

Generally speaking, the cost of a tummy tuck inclueds three fees

(1) Anesthesia fee - This is the charge for giving you a local or putting you under. This can range any where from $500 to $1000

(2) Facility fee - This is the fee the hospital or outpatient facilty charges and can range from $500 to $800.

(3) Surgeon fee - The is the most difficult to predict and largely depends on the extent of the procedure and the qualifications of the surgeon. In general, expect the surgeons fee to be $3000 to $8000.

As you can see, the fees vary significantly. In general, expect the cost to be between $4000 - $10,000 for the tummy tuck.

As I said before, the largest factor is the extent of the procedure. The more fat and skin to be removed the longer the surgery and therefore the higher the price. Plus, an overnight stay in the hospital may be required which is an additional expense.

One alternative to a tummy tuck is a mini tuck. This is the same procedure except less fat and skin is removed.
