Some Plastic Surgeons will make it look like their prices are much lower than others because they are only providing you their surgeon’s fees and omitting the other charges I summarized above. It is important that you pay attention to the numbers you are quoted after your consultation. For my quotes this includes a small charge for a surgical binder and a second stage compression garment you are placed into after surgery and a cosmetic insurance policy that protects you against complications for 45 days after your procedure. The final component of the quote is what I call incidentals and extras. Just like surgeon’s fees, facility fees can vary widely. Some surgery centers have set pricing for each procedure and some surgery centers charge the patient an hourly rate.
These fees are what the anesthesiologist charges you to go to sleep and what the surgery center charges you for nursing, OR supplies, IVs, recovery, etc. Sometimes they are paid together and sometimes they are paid separately.
This is typically split into 2 parts – the anesthesia fees and the facility fees. The next component of the quote is your surgery center fee. The pricing example I give you later does NOT include liposuction. Adding liposuction adds more surgery and more surgical time, thus increasing the overall cost of your surgery. My tummy tucks include extensive liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks, lateral chest, and back just about 100% of the time. Please note that the average price I just mentioned in the previous paragraph is for a tummy tuck alone. A tummy tuck is going to cost A LOT more in Manhattan or Los Angeles than it will in a small town in middle America. Surgeon’s fees will vary widely depending on your geographical location as well as your proximity to major metropolitan areas. So remember, this means half of the fees are less than this and half of the fees are more than this. The national average surgeon’s fee for a tummy tuck in 2017 was $5992 according to the above-mentioned study. This is the amount of money your Plastic Surgeon is charging you to actually perform the tummy tuck. The first and typically most expensive component of the quote is the surgeon’s fee. There are multiple components of an elective cosmetic surgery quote, and they all must be added together to get you the “all-in” price. What I would like to do in this blog is explain how a price quote is put together for an elective, out-of-pocket cosmetic surgery and then touch on some typical pricing for tummy tuck surgery. That’s a LOT of surgery folks!įor all of you considering tummy tuck surgery, I am fully aware that pricing is a very important part of your decision-making process. Americans spent a staggering $777,479,976 on tummy tucks in 2017 according to the same report.
In fact, there were over 129,000 tummy tucks performed in the United States in 2017, making it the #5 most popular cosmetic surgical procedure according to the ASPS 2017 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report. Tummy Tuck surgery is consistently one of the most popular Plastic Surgery procedures in the United States every year.
