What's typically included in the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) price?
The $6,388 average in Maine generally includes surgeon, anesthesia, and facility charges. Budget an additional 10-15% for items often billed separately: pre-op testing, post-surgical medications, medical supplies, and follow-up appointments.
