Pricing varies widely for tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery, which leaves many questioning what factors account for the tummy tuck cost ranges in Torrance, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, and surrounding California communities.
At South Bay Plastic Surgeons, we want to empower you with information about tummy tuck costs and the factors influencing pricing so you can make an informed decision. In this post, we’re breaking down the costs, what’s included, why pricing varies, and why choosing an experienced plastic surgeon is the key to safely achieving your dream look.
Understanding the Cost of a Tummy Tuck
The cost of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) at our Torrance practice ranges between $14,000 and 19,000 based on various factors, including:
Extent of the procedure
Different types of tummy tucks have different costs associated with them, primarily due to the length and complexity of the procedure. A mini tummy tuck that addresses only the lower abdomen costs less than a full tummy tuck, which tightens the upper and lower abdomen and often includes muscle repair (diastasis repair).
Combining procedures
Combining cosmetic procedures is popular among patients seeking post-weight loss plastic surgery or a mommy makeover. This approach combines a tummy tuck with liposuction and breast enhancement for optimal body contouring. However, this customized approach increases the cost.
Facility & Anesthesia Fees
The cost of a tummy tuck in our practice includes the surgeon’s fees, operating room, board-certified anesthesiologist, SCDs, which help to prevent blood clots, specialized medicine used to reduce post-operative pain, your surgical garment, and all follow-up visits. We take the utmost care to ensure that you are safe, comfortable, and happy with your results.
Postsurgical & Recovery Fees
You may incur additional costs for post-op medications, preoperative lab work, or other recovery supplies. Some patients may also require a short recovery stay at the surgery center for additional monitoring. If you are visiting us from outside the Los Angeles area, you may also need to consider travel-related costs.
