Recovery from any surgical procedure is dependent on your individual healing process. Almost everyone can expect to return to all usual activities within two to four weeks after surgery. The most difficult section is the first few days, but Dr. Whitfield's use of the long-lasting analgesic has led to a far easier recovery, less pain, less stress, and a happier, easier recovery.

An Austin Smart tummy tuck cost varies in price. No, it’s not because your surgeon wants to keep their Smat tummy tuck pricing a secret or because he wants to charge different patients different prices for no reason. The truth is, it is hard to give an accurate answer to this question without meeting the patient for an in-person consultation. The reason is that there are many different types of Smat tummy tucks. Each requires a different length of time in the operating room.

For example, performing a Smart tummy tuck with liposuction or a Smat tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover surgery can result in an increased Smart tummy tuck cost, as compared to less extensive procedures such as a mini Smart tummy tuck. Extended Smart tummy tucks and fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty are more involved procedures that can substantially increase operating room time as well. Without a consultation to see the extent of loose skin, it is virtually impossible to say how much the Smart tummy tuck would cost online or over the phone. Dr. Whitfield strives to offer fair and accurate Smart tummy tuck pricing in Austin that reflects his level of skill and expertise as a Smart tummy tuck surgeon with 20 years of surgical experience.

Add-on options such as a Smart tummy tuck with liposuction may cost more. However, for patients that want to remove areas of fat along with loose skin, the results of the price increase are well worth the small added expense. While not all patients require surgical fat removal on the abdomen with liposuction, it can greatly improve the results of the procedure. Liposuctions allows your surgeon to shape and define the abdominal contours with better precision than simply removing excess skin alone can achieve. Liposuction is not indicated for all patients. For example, very thin women and those that simply do not wish to add liposuction to a Smart tummy tuck procedure do not have to get it. Dr. Whitfield is pleased to discuss the various options with you, along with the complete pricing for different services, prior to making the decision to have a Smart tummy tuck procedure. There is no pressure or obligation to pursue add-ons unless you want them.
