At Paragon Plastic Surgery, the pricing for a tummy tuck varies depending on your treatment plan. We offer flexible financing and payment plans to make this confidence-boosting procedure more accessible, ensuring exceptional value in a supportive environment.

Ideal candidates are individuals who are in good overall health, have reached a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. A tummy tuck is suitable for those with excess skin, fat, or weakened abdominal muscles, often due to weight loss or pregnancy. Dr. Bishara will assess your specific needs during your consultation to determine the best approach for you.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, focuses specifically on removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles. A mommy makeover is a more comprehensive procedure that typically combines a tummy tuck with other procedures such as a breast lift, breast augmentation, or liposuction to address the changes in a woman's body after pregnancy and childbirth.

During the consultation, patients will meet with Dr. Bishara to address their specific concerns and desired outcomes. He will then make recommendations on the type of procedure necessary in order to achieve the desired results. He will provide detailed information about the procedure, including downtime, and healing process. He will also review the patient's medical history to determine their suitability for surgery. Some patients may need to obtain medical clearance from a different physician before he will operate on them, while others may be required to undergo preoperative testing, such as a mammogram, EKG, chest x-ray, or eye exam. 

Following the consultation, patients will be guided to the conference room where the surgical coordinator will meet with them to discuss pricing, financing options, available dates for scheduling, etc. The surgical coordinator will also be the person who helps them get scheduled for any preoperative testing that is required. 

The recovery process after an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, typically takes several weeks, during which you'll need to follow specific guidelines to ensure optimal healing. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper rest. Most patients can return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, but it's important to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
