How much does a tummy tuck cost?

Answer

The average tummy tuck performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will cost between $5,000 and $10,000. The price ranges due to the variations in patients and surgical techniques involved. To simplify, some people merely have a protuberant belly and require what plastic surgeons call a mini-abdominoplast. Other patients require extensive work, like those patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery and now have excessive loose skin. Others still may have moderate to severe abdominal muscle laxity and when the surgery involves the muscles, the price will increase.

I got a quote for a tummy tuck for 2,500 USD. Bulgaria seems to have good "cost friendly" options for cosmetic surgery.

I am a plastic surgeon in Utah and my fee for a full abdominoplasty is variable depending on what needs be done, usually about $5500.
