The price of an abdominoplasty depends on the setting: will you be at a hospital or surgery center? Because it may take longer, the cost also depends on the need for additional procedures: do you need liposuction as well? Are you a post-bariatric surgery patient?
A basic abdominoplasty will cost approximately $6000-$7000, including anesthesia, facility and surgeon’s fee. This price would be for a straightforward tummy tuck without liposuction. When liposuction is involved or when the patient has lost a significant amount of weight (after gastric bypass for example) the surgery takes longer, may include an overnight stay, and therefore costs more.
Be sure to schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who can assess your condition and give you a precise understanding of what your surgery will entail and why it costs as much as it does.
