Questions over the cost come even before those about risks. Agullo will not dance around them. Tummy tucks run anywhere between $16,000 to $26,000. It depends on the case and the former price is inclusive.

Fee includes:

Surgeon fees, anesthesia, OR, garment, preop and postop package. The latter includes SinEcch tablets, Skinuva cream scar, moisturizer and Exparel. When required, your BBL pillow is part of it. All lymphatic drainage masses and follow-up follow. Patient fills prescriptions to pay as well.

Difference in quote prices at varying premises.

Quotes vary depending on the experience of the surgeons, the location, demand and complexities encountered such as combinations used and how much the procedure consumes.

Tummy tuck type in play and its cost implications.

• Mini tummy tuck

• For patients with minimal loose skin and minimal stretch marks. Incision about the size of a C-section.

• Standard abdominoplasty

• For patients with considerable loose skin. A standard horizontal incision.

• Extended abdominoplasty

• For an abdominal fold that extends past the hip bones. The incision extends to the length of that fold.

• Circumferential body lift

• For circumferential loose skin with buttock ptosis. The incision goes all the way around.

• The more extensive the procedure, the higher the cost.

How to save money with combined procedures

One may save if they manage to bundle it into lipo or complete mommy makeover treatment. Using an anesthetist and operating room together will save you money as opposed to a single purpose. For combinations to work, tummy tuck portions set the recovery timeline. Two weeks- regular activities. Not before six weeks when you can exercise.

Financing options include PatientFi, AlphaEon, Cherry, and CareCredit, plus direct financing through the practice itself. Credit card, cash, and outside bank financing are accepted too.

When a cheap tummy tuck is a bad idea.

If a price looks far below what everyone else is charging, it is worth asking what is being cut: the surgeon’s experience, the facility’s accreditation, the anesthesia type, or the follow-up care. Dr. Agullo performs a meaningful number of revision tummy tucks for patients whose original surgery, often done elsewhere for less, needs to be corrected. Revising an abdominoplasty almost always costs more than the original surgery would have, and the result is usually a step down from what could have been achieved the first time.
