Tummy Tuck vs Mini Tummy Tuck

[Tim C 335]

Have any of you guys had Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck? What was the cost of the procedure? Why did you choose one over the other? Thanks and I hope to hear back from some of you.

I had a Tummy Tuck + muscle repair and Lipo to my flanks, breast lift & augmentation, and arm lift last month. I paid a total of $16,100 in Miami. I got quotes for the same at home in Seattle ranging from $30,000-$40,000.

Thanks for responding. I believe the main thing I need to worry about is the areunder my belly button but we shall see. Do you know the difference in mini Tummy Tuck and Tummy Tuck? As much money as I am going to save on food and booze forever, I plan to do something!

I also had a TT, breast lift and Augmentation done in Jan. I was sleeved in July 2018.
The diff in a mini vs a full TT is the muscle tightening. The mini is just the skin and below the belly button. A full TT is full muscle tightening like a corset and then pulled down from above the belly button. Good luck to you!! Let us know what you decide to do so we can follow your PS journey!

Yeah, my full TT scar goes around to the back side of my hips. Benefit of the is a vast improvement in the “saddle bags” on my outer thighs.

that is crazy cheap. I had the full lower body lift plus the arm lift and breast lift (no augmentation) and I forked over around $40K in Chicago - but part of that is probably Chicago prices. Plus I had it all done in a hospital and had to stay overnight there (I had it done in two surgeries), so that adds to the cost, too. The price you got is more Mexico prices (I got a quote from a surgeon there - I think it was about $16K for all that)

And the funny thing is, my doc is considered really expensive in Miami! I could have had it all done elsewhere there for around $10,000 at a big, high volume clinic. It’s crazy how much prices vary around the country.

I had gotten a fleur de lis Tummy Tuck on January 5th of this year, lucky my insurance covers it fully along with the breast lift and thigh lift I will be needing later in the months. I would highly suggest checking with your insurance and plastic surgeons who work with those to save you some cash then if you want to have scar revisions or smaller ones it will be much much cheaper.

How did your muscle repair go? I’m having a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair and a breast lift soon.
