What Is Recovery from Abdominoplasty Like?
Most patients who undergo abdominoplasty experience moderate to considerable soreness for a few days, but this improves quickly thereafter. Drains are used and remain in place for 7–14 days. Most people take off 2–3 weeks from work to recuperate.
How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost?
At our Baltimore-area practice, the average cost of a tummy tuck procedure is $8,000 to $9,000 for a mini-tummy tuck, $10,200 to $11,200 for a standard (full) tummy tuck, $11,500 to $12,500 an extended tummy tuck, and $8,900 to $9,900 for a reverse tummy tuck. These price ranges include all costs associated with the procedure, including:
- Anesthesiology fees
- Surgeon’s fees
- All pre- and post-op appointments
- Operating room fees
- Any post-operative garments
While our price ranges are an accurate representation of the average tummy tuck cost, the overall expense of your tummy tuck may fall above or below these figures. The specific details of your surgical plan ultimately determine the cost of your abdominoplasty.
For an accurate tummy tuck quote, it is necessary to schedule a consultation with Dr. Houssock. Following your appointment, you can review a detailed estimate for your personalized surgery, as well as ask any questions you may have. If you decide to move forward with surgery, a knowledgeable member of our office team can discuss topics including the payment process, scheduling, and financing. For qualified applicants, third-party lenders we partner with—including ALPHAEON™ CREDIT, CareCredit®, and Blispay—offer a range of plastic surgery financing options designed to make cosmetic procedures more affordable.
