Every tummy tuck surgery at our private, luxury clinic in The Woodlands is tailored to the individual patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. Surgical fees can vary based on the custom surgical plan starting at $14,000. Surgical fees include the total cost of the surgery (anesthesia, facility, surgeon’s fee, compression garment, scar cream and post-op visits).
While every tummy tuck is customized to address the unique concerns of the individual, each procedure follows the same general steps:
People with more extensive needs may be better candidates for a combined tummy tuck, buttock lift and thigh lift, also known as a lower body lift. During your consultation with Dr. Kim, she can explain the options available if you require body contouring after massive weight loss. She can also help you gain a realistic idea of what you can expect from tummy tuck surgery, along with how scars will appear once you have healed, and other concerns.
Women considering pregnancy in the future are recommended to wait to schedule their surgeries until they’ve completed their families. Although a tummy tuck won’t affect your ability to carry a child to term, some of the aesthetic benefits of the procedure may be reversed by a future pregnancy.
If you have a surgical tummy tuck, you need to plan for two weeks off work at low-intensity jobs, and three to four weeks for work duties that involve more physical motion. The early stages of recovery are the most uncomfortable, but you will have prescription pain medication to help keep you comfortable. In addition, Dr. Kim utilizes a long-acting pain medication, Exparel, during surgery that will help you with initial pain for the first three days.
