UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK COST

Determining Your Treatment Cost

The most important factors that will affect the cost of your tummy tuck procedure are the doctor that you choose to perform the surgery and the extent of your treatment. Surgeons who are more experienced and recognized as experts in the field will often charge more for their services because they consistently provide results that are superior to their competition. This is not meant to be a discouraging factor since most patients are seeking the very best surgical outcome.

Tummy tuck surgeries can vary in their scope of treatment. Some patients may be able to achieve their treatment goals through mini tummy tuck, a less invasive procedure which carries different costs. Typically there will be some liposuction involved to enhance and fine-tune contouring, and the amount and location of fatty tissue that needs to be removed can affect pricing. Procedures that only address minimal fat deposits in the lower abdomen will generally be less expensive than a surgery that involves liposuction to treat the love handles or other areas.

Insurance Coverage 

Your reason for undergoing the operation is another important consideration. Generally, tummy tucks are considered cosmetic procedures and insurance companies will not cover any part of the treatment cost. However, if a patient has a medical reason for requiring the surgery, which is quite common following a bariatric procedure, insurance may contribute or completely cover the entire cost of the operation.

Patients who qualify for insurance coverage for abdominoplasty procedures will usually have some ongoing health concerns related to the excess tissue in their midsections, such as a rash, infection, or backache. Our team is happy to help you better understand your insurance, and determine what coverage you are eligible for. For patients who do not qualify for insurance coverage for a tummy tuck procedure, we offer affordable cash packages that can be customized to fit any budget.
