Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to achieve a flatter, firmer abdomen through the reduction of excess skin, and fat, and tightening of underlying weak abdominal muscles. During the initial consultation process, the surgeon will discuss all aspects of the procedure, including its estimated costs.
Dr. A. Dean Jabs and Dr. Franklin D. Richards are leading board-certified plastic surgeons providing tummy tuck and other surgeries through their offices in Bethesda MD and McLean VA. Dr. Jabs and Dr. Richards receive patients from Northern Virginia, Fairfax, Alexandria, VA, Chevy Chase, Rockville, MD, and surrounding communities.
Money Considerations
One of the key factors that will influence the cost of tummy tuck surgery is the geographical area where the practice of the plastic surgeon is located. In major urban centers and cities in the coastal regions, the cost of living is typically higher, which will impact the effect on your bank account for these surgical services as well.
For instance, the cost of a tummy tuck procedure in Northern Virginia, Fairfax, Alexandria, VA, Chevy Chase, Rockville, MD, and nearby locations may not be the same as the cost in, say, New Jersey. Other factors that will impact the financial value include the extent of surgery performed and any advanced surgical technologies that may be used during the procedure.
If a tummy tuck is performed using general anesthesia, the fee of the anesthesiologist can vary according to their skills and experience. Similarly, the fee charged by the cosmetic surgeon will vary by their reputation and their track record in performing tummy tucks and other procedures.
Insurance and Financing
Tummy tuck surgery is commonly performed for aesthetic reasons, and no insurance coverage may be available in such cases. However, if the patient has a functional impairment resulting from backache, infections, rashes, and other complications due to excess fat tissue in the abdominal area, they may qualify for insurance coverage in some cases.
Multiple financing options are also available to most patients, which will let them pay for the surgery in monthly installments with a competitive rate of interest.
