Tummy Tuck Surgery- Is It Affordable?

by Kiran Polavarapu Cosmetic Surgeon

Nowadays, people have become more health conscious and thus, go through different weight loss programs to get rid of that extra fat. Sometimes, when people lose a large amount of weight, it results in their skin to become saggy around the hip, abdomen or back muscles. And, the technique used to shed this extra skin is tummy tuck.

With a tummy tuck, you can not only have that extra stomach fat removed, but also remove any excess skin or sagging. On top of the obvious physical benefits provided by the procedure, there are also the emotional advantages such as enhanced self-esteem and confidence.

Speaking about the cost of this procedure; this is usually paid out of the patients savings because most insurances do not cover it. This is because you should get as much information as possible about it and get the best price possible. There are several factors that will come into play when figuring out the tummy tuck cost.

The cost of tummy tuck in Fort Worth Texas will bring together the fees for the anesthesiologist, operating room, and surgeon. The only one that you will be able to negotiate a better price on will be for the surgeon. This is where your research will benefit you. The fee of surgeon is based on his experience i.e. how long he has practiced, and geographical location. You can expect to pay from $2,500 to $8,500 for the tummy tuck cost.

That large price range should make you want to start searching for the best price. Normally, there are two types of procedures of tummy tuck in Fort Worth Texas which can have very different tummy tuck costs. Depending upon the recommendation of doctor, you can opt for a mini or full procedure. The mini takes less time to complete because there is less work to be done. In case of full, the entire abdominal area that has excess fat and skin removed. The full procedure takes longer to recover from so you will be looking at a longer stay in the hospital. This will increase the cost of tummy tuck.

Your decision to choose a surgeon for tummy tuck in Fort Worth Texas should not be based solely on price. This will be about the only factor that can help you control the tummy tuck cost though. You should meet with the surgeon and feel confident in his skills and be comfortable with him. No matter what, you want the surgeon to be board certified. His skill is what will give you the look that you want and make you pleased with the tummy tuck cost.

Without help with that cost from your medical insurance it will have to come from your savings. Make sure that you do the research and start saving for this procedure way in advance. Some surgeons have special financing to help you out. Be sure to ask about it during your consultation. This can be the difference in getting your surgery right away or having to wait until you have all the money saved up front.
