Are you interested in a tummy tuck surgery? Concerned
about the cost? Heres some valuable information for you:
First, you need to understand all of the risks involved with
having surgery. Its not something you should take lightly.
There is the potential for scarring, skin abnormalities, abdominal
discomfort, and on rare occasions, death.
If you have decided you want to go through with the surgery you
should speak with a plastic surgeon. He or She will then determine
if you are a suitable candidate for the surgery. Thats a
good thing since you dont want to take on a tummy tuck cost
and then come to find out youre not able to have the surgery.
The cost of tummy tuck surgery may vary depending on the individuals
needs. Once you have decided youre a candidate for a tummy
tuck procedure, you can then discuss your tummy tuck cost.
There is a range of mini tummy tuck procedures designed to treat
a spectrum of individual needs. In consultation with a board certified
plastic surgeon, the choice of procedure will be made based on
the your anatomic features and desired outcome. Again, the tummy
tuck cost will depend on what you decide to have done.
Tummy tucks have one thing in common--they tighten the abdominal
skin. But there are two key differences between the various tummy
tuck surgery procedures. First, the incision lengths vary depending
on the amount of skin to be tightened and removed, and the abdominal
muscles may need to be tightened if they have excess laxity. This
too will determine the total tummy tuck cost.
The length of the incision is determined by the amount of loose
skin that is to be removed. The incision lengths vary from as
short as six inches, which is called a mini tummy tuck, to as
long as the entire circumference of the waist, which is commonly
referred to as a body lift. The most common incision length runs
from hip to hip concealed beneath the bikini line, which is referred
to as the basic tummy tuck. The body lift amounts to the highest
tummy tuck cost.
In addition to removing loose skin, localized fat deposits can
also be removed during your tummy tuck. It is recommended, however,
that you be as close as possible to your goal weight before having
the procedure. In necessary, liposuction may be performed in combination
with the tummy tuck to remove additional fat around the abdomen
or to treat other areas such as the hips and flanks. But this
will increase the tummy tuck cost
