BENCHMARK Collectively these add 40–50% to a quoted surgeon fee. Cosmetic surgery cost analysis, 2026, captured August 14, 2026.
The figure on each card is a cited United States benchmark. Prices from other countries are in the section above. A patient median replaces a benchmark only after 5 people report what they paid for that procedure.
A single incision all the way around the waistline. Removes the abdominal apron in front, the roll across the lower back and flanks, and lifts the buttocks and outer thighs as one continuous unit. The big operation — and the one where the gap between an advertised surgeon fee and the real total is widest.
An abdominoplasty whose incision carries around the sides toward the lower back, so the surgeon can take skin and fat off the flanks — the love handles. This is the operation most people after a large weight loss actually need, and the one they most often get quoted for the cheaper standard version instead.
Removes the overhanging apron of skin below the navel. Functional rather than cosmetic: it does not tighten muscle, reposition the navel, or contour the waist. The cheapest route to getting the hang out of the way, and the one most likely to be covered by insurance when there is documented rash or infection.
Two quite different operations share this name. The horizontal (crescent) version hides the entire scar in the groin crease and suits looseness confined to the upper inner thigh. The vertical version runs from near the groin down toward the knee and is needed when laxity extends the length of the thigh. Ask which one you are being quoted for — the scar outcomes are not comparable.
Removes loose skin from the upper arm, scar running along the inner arm from armpit toward elbow. The lowest-complication procedure in post-weight-loss contouring.
