How much will a Tummy Tuck cost?

Within the UK, surgery can be anything between £3500 and £5500, although prices will depend upon the surgeon and clinic you choose.  You will need to check what this involves, as sometimes consultations will be free and post-operative care might be quite expensive.  Normally your initial consultation will be free as you discuss the operation and your suitability for such a procedure.  Although this cost might seem very high in comparison to the costs of surgery abroad, there is no extra travel involved and you are near to family and won’t need to travel again if complications should arise after the surgery. 

Price of a Tummy Tuck & Aftercare

It is unlikely that any additional care you require will be included within the cost of your surgery, but this is something that you ought to bring up when having your initial consultation with your surgeon as sometimes they will charge for any extra surgery you might need. Often they will rectify a problem that has arisen due to their mistake, but otherwise extra costs might be added on top of the initial quote given to you. 

As well as paying for the surgery, and bearing in mind any additional costs that might occur, you also need to realise that you will have to take a while off work in order to properly recover.  Normally people will have to take one or two weeks off work, and this will add up as you are losing out on earnings and are ineligible for sick pay, (it not being a necessary surgery).  This might make a difference as to whether or not having the surgery is a realistic option for you.  You need to weigh up the benefits of the surgery combined with the costs involved and decide whether it is worth it.
