Tummy Tuck: How much will it cost?
- “Before my tummy tuck I had to wear large clothes to hide my stomach.”
We will provide you with a fairly firm estimate of what costs you will have. We do our best to provide as accurate an estimate as we can. We will be able to tell you about costs for the facility, anesthesia, implant costs and Dr. Grado’s fee. Depending on your age, a chest x-ray or additional tests may be required.
The cost of surgery involves several charges for the services provided. The total includes fees charged by Dr. Grado, the cost of surgical supplies, anesthesia, laboratory tests, and possible outpatient hospital charges, depending on where the surgery is performed. Depending on whether the cost of surgery is covered by an insurance plan, you will be responsible for necessary co-payments, deductibles, and charges not covered. The fees charged for this procedure do not include any potential future costs for additional procedures that you elect to have or require in order to revise, optimize, or complete your outcome. Additional costs may occur should complications develop from the surgery. Secondary surgery or hospital day-surgery charges involved with revision surgery will also be your responsibility.
Some patients who have had a marked weight loss may find that their insurance policy may cover part or all of the costs of removing the lower portion of the abdominal skin. Dr. Grado will discuss this with you.
