Well, that would vary. The cost of tummy tuck surgery would vary depending on plastic surgeon, and it goes by area in a sense. Good guys tend to charge more, probably in a range anywhere from eight to fifteen thousand dollars all-inclusive: operating room, anesthesia, surgery, follow-up care...

Partial tummy tuck would mean a tummy tuck just below the navel, without removal of skin. So it would be a mini tummy tuck, or a mini abdominoplasty, which is the true term. So what happens is the incision is made far down, below the pubic line, the skin is...

The risk involved with a mini tummy tuck is essentially infection, because you’re not compromising the blood supply in any way, and bleeding after the surgery is practically unheard of.
