The types of coverage under your policy, including the applicable deductibles and policy limits.. Your estimate may include sublimits for specific items, such as money. Each sublimit has a unique ID tag. That ID tag will appear next to any line item subject to the sublimit.
Additional fees, often not included in your initial quote, may include preoperative tests (which can cost up to $500) as well as the cost of postoperative medications and compression garments (which can be as high as $350). Based on these estimated costs, the total cost of a tummy tuck ranges from $7,475 to $17,650.
This also depends on the skill of the surgeon who performs the tummy tuck. A tummy tuck is much more expensive than liposuction. The average cost of liposuction is about $4,000 (although if just one area is treated it can run much lower, in the $1,500 range), and the average tummy tuck costs $8,600. This is because a tummy tuck is a much more complex and difficult procedure than liposuction.
