What is a tummy tuck – full definition
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is the procedure of removing any excess skin and fat, with a further tightening of the ab muscles, to create a more toned and flat midriff. Tummy tucks have been around for years and are a very common surgery, with benefits that can make one look younger, feel younger, gain more confidence, obtain better body to breast or hip to waist ratios, improve sex life, recover from pregnancy transformations, recover from extreme weight loss excesses, or even to fit in a more desirable array of clothes, not to mention swimwear and lingerie.
Why are tummy tuck cost prices so varied?
There are many factors that determine how much a tummy tuck costs. With cosmetic surgery, no procedure is the same, and consultations are always necessary to determine exactly what is needed from each patient and how Dr. Frati can accommodate these needs. Once the exact requirements are understood by both parties, and both parties feel comfortable that they would like to work together, then a tummy tuck cost can be identified. When determining tummy tuck prices, there are a few factors that need to be considered.
Which type of Tummy tuck you require?
Generally speaking there are two types of tummy tuck that Dr. Frati and his team offer, a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck.
- A mini tummy tuck will generally be cheaper than a full one, the procedure is mostly for patients who have mild excess skin and incursions are nearly always below the bikini line.
- A full tummy tuck is for patients with more excess fat and skin, and require more incursions than a mini tuck, these procedures take longer and require more work than the mini tuck.
Are you having a tummy tuck with any other procedures?
A lot of the time, patients make the most of the efforts that come with surgical procedures, such as travelling, consultations, recovery, time off work etc. There is always the option when undergoing a tummy tuck, to opt for a combination of more than one procedure. Common procedures that dovetail well with tummy tucks are liposuction, and mummy makeovers.
- Liposuction – Liposuction with a tummy tuck may actually be used by Dr. Frati if he feels it is a more efficient option whilst performing a tummy tuck; however lipo on the flanks for example, can add more definitions and better hip to waist ratio, which compliments a tummy tuck commendably.
- Mummy makeover UK – A tummy tuck is often a part of the rising cosmetic craze that is the mummy makeover. A mummy makeover consists of a series of procedures that new mothers often choose, which can involve breast uplift, breast augmentation, liposuction, labiaplasty, thigh lifts, and tummy tucks. A tummy tuck is one of the major elements of a mummy makeover, for the obvious reason that carrying a baby is likely to affect the tummy area more than any other, and therefore changes may wish to be made to this area of the body.
What is the experience of the surgeon at hand
If you wish to obtain the best results from your tummy tuck surgery, you may wish to opt for the most experienced and qualified surgeons and anaesthetists. Many successful plastic surgeons are registered on the General medical Council register, and will also be members of regulated and well-known establishments associated with the industry such as ISAPS and BAAPS. Dr. Frati can boast his credentials as being a member of the GMC, and has also been a guest speaker at: –
- Face Conference at The Royal Society of Medicine in London
- International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery meeting in Rio De Janeiro
- Visiting Fellow: University of Texas Southwestern, Miami University, New York University, and Illinois University.
Further to this, the most experienced surgeons often offer the most efficient cutting edge techniques when performing tummy tucks, which can include MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) massage treatment. Dr. Frati can offer the finest techniques and measures to help with aftercare, recovery times, scarring, and lesser risk of infections.
Whether your price includes any extras
You may be given a quote on how much a tummy tuck costs but this may be for just the procedure. As each operation is bespoke, you may need several consultations, or extra painkillers/aftercare. This will need to be factored in when working out a total tummy tuck cost.
Whether you opt for a tummy tuck UK or a tummy tuck abroad
Tummy Tucks UK can be considered more expensive than going abroad, but the price to pay for doing something cheaper and when your body is at risk, can be great. There have been many a story of folk attempting to ride the risk of less qualified, less regulated, communication barriers, and inexperience, that has backfired and resulted in serious health issues. Nonetheless, in answer to the question, tummy tuck cost in the UK is considerably more than abroad.
How much does a mini tummy tuck cost?
Ballpark figures for mini tummy tuck costs between £5,000 and £8,000. Depending in the factors mentioned, mini tummy tucks are a cheaper alternative to full tummy tucks, which can cost almost double. If you aren’t sure if you qualify for a mini tummy tuck then Dr. Frati would be happy to explain what options are available for you.
