Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck Cost in Sydney

What is the cost for an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in Sydney?

Like all surgical procedures, a tummy tuck in Sydney is a complex procedure involving care by multiple different medical professionals, as well as the use of hospital operating facilities and a variety of equipment and supplies. That means there are a few different elements to take into consideration when billing for an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck operation. The total fees for a tummy tuck in Sydney include:

•    The Surgeon’s Fee (+/- Assistant’s fee)
•    The Anaesthetist’s Fee
•    The Hospital/Facility Fee (includes both the Theatre & Accommodation Fees)
•    Post operative compression garments

The total fees for a tummy tuck can vary somewhat between patients, depending on factors related to the procedure itself, the patient’s other medical needs, and similar factors. However, we can give an estimate for the total cost. When you visit your Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney for your consultation, you will receive a more detailed and personalised estimate of what the costs will be for your tummy tuck.

Estimated total cost for an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in Sydney

The total cost for a tummy tuck in Sydney is approximately:-

Insured** from $15,500.00* out of pocket with top private health insurance cover
Uninsured from $23,500.00* incl. GST (2 nights in hospital)

The facility fees vary from place to place and over time, and this can affect your overall costs for the procedure. We are aware that finances are a significant consideration for many patients, and we do our best to keep your costs as low as possible. We are vigilant in watching for options that will save our patients money but we will never compromise results or safety to save money. It’s worth paying the cost for a procedure by a Specialist Plastic Surgeon in an accredited hospital to minimise your risks.

Keep in mind that the above cost is only an estimate. Your costs could be higher, especially if there is more operating time required, and will depend on whether or not you have private health insurance and which level of cover. Dr Gavin Sandercoe cannot predict your exact costs for your tummy tuck in Sydney without examining you and determining your personal situation. To get a more personalised cost estimate for your tummy tuck, a consultation with your Specialist Plastic Surgeon is necessary.
