Abdominoplasty Prices

Losing weight is the perennial battle as we grow older. It is the lucky soul who does not naturally gain weight as the years pass. Exercise and diet are undoubtedly the best way to attack this inevitable process
a fact repeated in the media and literature over and over. The problem
of course
is who has time given the hectic pace of life?

An abdominoplasty is one option for battling the bulge. The costs of the procedures
however
may come as a bit of a shock if you aren’t aware of them going in. The prices tend to be a bit high given the nature of the procedure.

While abdominoplasty is the name used for most cosmetic abdominal surgeries
there is not one procedure as suggested. In truth
procedures range from full tucks to mini-tucks and so on. The difference is purely a matter of what you are trying to achieve. As you might guess
a full tuck is going to take longer
which results in a higher price. Mini-tucks are more isolated and less expensive given the time in question.

Abdominoplasty prices vary greatly depending on a number of other practical issues. The location of the tuck procedure is going to have an impact
to wit
Beverly Hills surgeons charge much more than surgeons in Oklahoma City. Further
there seems to be a direct correlation between the number of times the surgeon has been on television and the price. If you must have a celebrity surgeon
you are going to pay for it.

In general
the cost of a full abdominoplasty will range from $4
0
to $7
0
dollars. Mini tucks will run as much as half of this figure
but the specific cost is entirely dependent upon what is being done.

Abdominoplasty prices can cause serious sticker shock when you first get an estimate. Remember
health insurance rarely pays for plastic surgery.
