How much does tummy tuck surgery cost?

When researching how much does tummy tuck surgery cost, you will find that there is little variation between reputable plastic surgery practices here in the UK.

The best tummy tuck plastic surgeons in the north west will charge fees starting at around £7,000 for a partial abdominoplasty, rising to between £7,000 and £10,000 for a full abdominoplasty.

Here at Manchester Plastic Surgery, our surgeons are highly experienced. James Murphy has over 20 years experience performing abdominoplasty.

Mr Murphy is our Medical Director and has particular specialism in abdominoplasty, having carried out hundreds of successful treatments since establishing Manchester Plastic Surgery in 2010. He is one of the UK’s leading plastic surgeons and is a member of the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the United Kingdom Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.  (BAAPS).

What does fees include?

The costs cover all pre and post-operative consultations as well as your actual tummy tuck operation, nursing care and anaesthesia, plus your overnight stay at the The Pines Hospital in Manchester, our state-of-the-art facility which is the perfect place for you to receive the care and attention you need in comfortable surroundings.

Be wary of cheaper alternatives

Of course, there are always cheaper alternatives, which is why so many Britons have travelled abroad for plastic surgery treatments.  However, as with so many cheaper solutions, it’s important to weigh up the benefits versus the risks.

Other countries may offer plastic surgery at a lower cost because there are less stringent regulations which they have to adhere to, and this may put you at greater risk of your surgery going wrong.

It’s also problematic to have to return to another country for follow-up consultations, and to get the treatment you need if your recovery doesn’t go according to plan. If things go wrong with plastic surgery abroad, the NHS is likely only to provide care if you have a serious complication which needs emergency of life-saving treatment, to have the surgery rectified you’ll most likely need to return to the hospital where you had the original treatment, which can be costly.
