Tummy Tuck Procedure Costs at Neinstein Plastic Surgery
Key Points
– Traditional procedures typically take 90 minutes and only work on the front of the body. We see so many revisions from around the country and the world from moms who had traditional tummy tucks but don’t feel special or feel like they got their body back because these procedures minimally address the front of the body and do not address the sides or the back.
– No patient has ever regretted an extended or circumferential tuck when it got them the result they truly desired
– Our aftercare for tummy tucks is thorough, comprehensive, and meaningful. It begins with an overnight stay in one of our partner hotels with a private nurse for comfort and safety. This allows Dr. Neinstein and the team to visit you personally and ensure you’re comfortable and well-cared for during those crucial first hours after surgery.
– We don’t just fix things we help you become the person you want to be
-We understand your struggles (all of our board certified surgeons are parents)
-We understand your hopes and dreams
-We know the path to victory
In a world where cosmetic procedures are increasingly commonplace, many potential patients wonder what makes one plastic surgery practice different from another. At Neinstein Plastic Surgery, we’re often asked, “Why do your tummy tucks cost more than other practices?” The answer lies not just in what we do, but in how we do it. Our approach to abdominoplasty—commonly known as the tummy tuck—represents a fundamental shift in both technique and philosophy that delivers superior, life-changing results for our patients.
Beyond the Standard Tummy Tuck: Our Specialized Expertise
The standard tummy tuck performed at many practices follows a templated approach that hasn’t evolved significantly in decades. At Neinstein Plastic Surgery, we’ve dedicated ourselves to advancing the procedure through specialized expertise that addresses the unique needs of each patient, particularly mothers experiencing post-pregnancy body changes. Traditional procedures typically take 90 minutes and only work on the front of the body. We see so many revisions from around the country and the world from moms who had traditional tummy tucks but don’t feel special or feel like they got their body back because these procedures minimally address the front of the body and do not address the sides or the back.
Our practice has deliberately chosen to focus on mommy makeovers as a core specialty. This isn’t a marketing decision—it’s a profound commitment that stems from Dr. Neinstein’s personal journey as a parent. Becoming a father fundamentally changed Dr. Neinstein’s perspective, leading him to steer our practice toward addressing the specific challenges women face after pregnancy.
The physical transformation of pregnancy and childbirth extends far beyond what most people realize. Hormonal shifts combine with physical changes including loose skin, stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). These concerns require specialized knowledge and techniques that go well beyond the capabilities of general plastic surgeons who perform the occasional tummy tuck.

Revolutionary Multi-Vector Diastasis Repair
Dr. Neinstein has revolutionized the approach to diastasis recti repair—the reconstruction of separated abdominal muscles that commonly occurs during pregnancy. While traditional approaches simply bring the muscles together in a single vertical line, Dr. Neinstein has pioneered an advanced multi-vector repair technique that addresses weakness in multiple directions.
This innovative approach recognizes that pregnancy stretches the abdominal wall in various directions, not just down the middle. By strategically repairing the muscle separation along multiple vectors, Dr. Neinstein achieves significantly tighter, flatter tummies that maintain their shape over time. The multi-directional reinforcement creates a stronger abdominal wall that better resists the pressures of daily activities and potential future pregnancies.
The results speak for themselves: patients experience a more dramatic flattening of the abdomen that traditional single-vector repairs simply cannot achieve. This advanced technique is particularly beneficial for women with severe diastasis or those who have undergone multiple pregnancies, providing transformative results for patients who had been told elsewhere that their condition couldn’t be fully corrected.
Our hand-selected team of surgeons has all been trained in the world-renowned Neinstein method. With Dr. Neinstein having performed over 1,000 tummy tuck procedures, our collective experience represents a level of mastery that comes only through hyper-focused specialization. When multiple experts collaborate daily on the same procedures, the intellectual momentum creates continuous innovation that simply isn’t possible for surgeons who divide their attention across many different types of procedures.
Cutting-Edge Technology: The Technical Advantage
While many practices still rely on decades-old techniques for tummy tucks, we’ve embraced advanced technologies that significantly enhance results while reducing recovery times.
At the forefront of our technical approach is our use of VASER, an ultrasound-based device that allows us to precisely target and melt fat in areas that traditional liposuction can’t safely reach. Dr. Neinstein has written extensively in academic papers and taught surgeons worldwide on this method, which enables us to achieve that “final mile” in tummy tucks—the subtle contouring that transforms a good result into an exceptional one.
We complement this with energy-based devices that tighten the collagen network in your skin, enhancing the overall firmness and appearance of your abdomen. This comprehensive approach combines multiple advanced techniques (Lipo 360, precise muscle repair, and strategic skin removal) to create the athletic, elegant results our practice is known for.
The difference becomes clear when comparing outcomes: where standard tummy tucks might leave patients with improved but still somewhat undefined abdominal contours, our integrated approach creates the sculpted, natural-looking results that allow our patients to confidently wear fitted clothing they may have avoided for years.
Bespoke Surgery: Your Unique Procedure
Perhaps the most fundamental difference in our approach is our rejection of templated surgical plans. We firmly believe that no two patients are the same, and therefore no two surgical procedures should be identical. Your tummy tuck at Neinstein Plastic Surgery begins with understanding your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
Standard practices often apply the same surgical approach to everyone, resulting in scars that may be unnecessarily high or awkwardly placed, belly buttons that look artificial, or results that fail to address your specific concerns. In contrast, we design each operation uniquely to match your specific anatomy and goals.
This customized approach extends to every aspect of your procedure:
- The length and placement of your incision will be carefully determined based on your existing anatomy and desired outcome
- No patient has ever regretted an extended or circmferential tuck when it got them the result they truly desired
- The abdominal tightening technique will incorporate Dr. Neinstein’s revolutionary multi-vector diastasis repair, addressing muscle separation in multiple directions for superior, longer-lasting results
- The contouring will be personalized to create natural-looking results that complement your overall body proportions
We take the time to understand your aesthetic sensibilities and make decisions during surgery with your best interests in mind. This level of customization requires significantly more time and expertise than standardized approaches, but the results speak for themselves.
The Luxury of Comprehensive After Care
Recovery from a tummy tuck is a critical part of achieving optimal results, yet many practices send patients home with minimal support. At Neinstein Plastic Surgery, we’ve reimagined the recovery experience with a level of care that matches the quality of our surgical techniques.
Our aftercare for tummy tucks is thorough, comprehensive, and meaningful. It begins with an overnight stay in one of our partner hotels with a private nurse for comfort and safety. This allows Dr. Neinstein and the team to visit you personally and ensure you’re comfortable and well-cared for during those crucial first hours after surgery.
We use Exparel, a three-day long-acting pain medication, to help reduce discomfort. This means you’re up and walking faster, using fewer traditional pain medications, and healing more efficiently. Every patient receives a structured workbook schedule for walking, eating, drinking, medication, and massages to accelerate healing.
The Neinstein Plastic Surgery team interacts with you daily during your recovery, providing 24-hour access to support, luxury hotel recovery options, and spa-like perks that transform what could be a challenging time into a supported healing journey.
This comprehensive approach to care extends far beyond the standard follow-up appointments offered at most practices. While it represents a significant investment of our time and resources, we believe it’s essential to achieving the exceptional results our patients expect.
An Aesthetic Philosophy That Prioritizes Natural Beauty
In an industry where exaggerated results are often celebrated, we’ve maintained a commitment to creating outcomes that enhance rather than distort natural beauty. Our goal is always athletic and elegant results, not cartoonish or overly dramatized change.
This philosophy influences every aspect of our approach:
- We focus on creating harmonious results that enhance your body’s natural contours
- Our attention to detail includes the meticulous placement of scars and careful reconstruction of the belly button
- Dr. Neinstein has obsessively studied the art and engineering of tummy tuck scar placement to ensure optimal aesthetic results
The aesthetics of a well-performed tummy tuck should never announce themselves as “surgery.” Instead, they should simply reveal what looks like a naturally fit and proportional body. This approach requires more subtlety and artistic vision than simply removing the maximum amount of skin or fat.
Results That Change Lives
Ultimately, the true measure of our difference lies in the transformative results we achieve for our patients. When Dr. Neinstein is able to give patients the body they have always wanted, they consistently report that concerns about scars or recovery time quickly fade in comparison to the life-changing impact of their results.
We’ve seen firsthand how our procedures restore confidence and allow patients to fully re-engage with activities they had abandoned. Our patients have playfully formed a “crop top club”—women who never thought they’d wear crop tops again but now confidently do. Others have returned to fitted dresses, swimwear, and active social lives with a renewed sense of confidence.
This focus on comprehensive, life-changing results rather than just minimizing a single aspect of the procedure is perhaps the most significant difference in our approach. We understand that you’re not just seeking a flatter stomach—you’re seeking the confidence and freedom that comes with feeling comfortable in your own body again.
The Investment in Excellence
When considering why our tummy tucks differ in price from standard procedures, it’s important to understand the comprehensive value we provide:
- Specialized expertise from surgeons who focus exclusively on body contouring
- Advanced technologies that enhance results and improve recovery
- Customized surgical plans tailored to your unique anatomy and goals
- Luxury aftercare that supports optimal healing
- An aesthetic philosophy that prioritizes natural, harmonious results
- A commitment to life-changing outcomes that extend far beyond physical appearance
The tummy tuck at Neinstein Plastic Surgery represents an investment in excellence—a comprehensive approach that addresses not just how your abdomen looks, but how you feel about your body and yourself. While a standard tummy tuck might improve your appearance, our approach aims higher: to transform how you experience life in your body.
For our patients, that difference is invaluable. It’s not just about having a procedure—it’s about receiving care from a team that deeply understands your concerns and has mastered the art and science of addressing them. It’s about achieving results that don’t just meet expectations but exceed them in ways you might not have thought possible.
That’s the Neinstein difference—and it’s why our patients consistently tell us that choosing our practice was one of the best decisions they’ve ever made.
