You may be a candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) if you have loose or sagging abdominal wall skin that is frequently associated with abnormal relaxation of the anterior abdominal wall muscles (often secondary to multiple pregnancies or prior surgery). You may also desire a tummy tuck if you are unable to tighten your abdominal wall skin with exercise. An abdominoplasty is intended to give the patient a smoother, flatter abdomen.
Abdominoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia either within the hospital or in an outpatient setting. (Mini-abdominoplasties can be performed under sedation and local anesthesia.) |

This procedure can range from $6,000 - $9,000 depending on whether you will need a mini, standard, or extended tummy tuck. |
| |
| The Tummy Tuck Procedure |
- Mini-abdominoplasty tightens the lower abdominal wall skin only (shortest scar).
- Standard abdominoplasty tightens all of the abdominal wall skin (standard scar).
- Extended abdominoplasty tightens the abdomen and the flanks or sides (longest scar extending around the flanks onto lower back.)

Recovery from Abdominoplasty |
Abdominoplasty is one of the more uncomfortable plastic surgery procedures. One to three days of hospitalization or skilled nursing care may indicated for a full or extended tummy tuck.
