There are a variety of fees or costs associated to a plastic surgery procedure that can vary greatly depending on the procedure. And at First Coast Your surgery coordinator will provide the exact costs of your procedure before your surgery is scheduled. You’ll know your total procedure fees and what is included before moving forward. Dr. Csikai insists that all surgical fees, operating room fees and anesthesia fees be included and presented as one total fee, so there are no surprises.

Some procedures call for or require products and services that are not provided or performed by First Coast Plastic Surgery. Third party lab work and blood work, compression garments and sports bras are some examples of costs that are not included with your surgical fees. But again, you will know your total procedure fees and what is included, and services or garments that we do not provide but will be needed before your surgery is scheduled.

One of the most common questions I receive during consultations is how much a tummy tuck will cost. While I understand why patients want a straightforward answer, the reality is that no two patients have the same anatomy, concerns, or surgical goals. For that reason, it is not possible to accurately quote a fixed price without first performing a thorough evaluation.

A tummy tuck is a highly customized procedure. Some patients may benefit from a traditional abdominoplasty, while others may be candidates for a mini tummy tuck. In certain situations, I may recommend combining a tummy tuck with liposuction or other body contouring procedures to address concerns more comprehensively. The most appropriate surgical plan depends on factors such as skin laxity, muscle separation, body composition, previous surgeries, and the patient’s desired outcome.

After more than 30 years of performing plastic surgery procedures, I have found that individualized treatment planning is one of the most important factors in achieving successful outcomes. Rather than recommending the same procedure for every patient, I carefully evaluate each person’s anatomy and goals before determining which approach I believe is most appropriate.

During your consultation, I will perform a detailed examination, review your medical history, discuss your expectations, and explain your available treatment options. Once a personalized surgical plan has been developed, my staff and I will provide a complete explanation of the recommended procedure, anticipated recovery, and the total cost associated with your treatment plan.

This individualized approach allows patients to receive recommendations based on their specific needs rather than generalized pricing or assumptions. It also ensures that the proposed procedure is designed to address the concerns identified during the consultation while maintaining realistic expectations and prioritizing patient safety.

One of the most common questions I receive from patients considering liposuction is how much the procedure will cost. While I understand the desire for a simple answer, liposuction is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Every patient presents with different anatomy, treatment goals, body composition, and areas of concern. Because of these variables, it is not possible to accurately determine the cost of liposuction without first conducting a thorough consultation and examination.

In my practice, I utilize Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL), an advanced liposuction technology designed to assist with the removal of unwanted fat while allowing for precise body contouring. However, the appropriate treatment plan varies significantly from patient to patient. Some individuals may require treatment of a single area, while others may benefit from contouring multiple areas during the same procedure. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, upper back, arms, and inner or outer thighs, but not every patient requires the same approach.

After more than 30 years of performing plastic surgery procedures, I have learned that patient safety must always take precedence over the amount of fat removed or the number of areas treated. There are established limits regarding how much liposuction can be performed safely during a single operation, and these limits vary based on the patient’s overall health, body mass index, treatment areas, and surgical goals. During your consultation, I will evaluate these factors and discuss what I believe can be performed safely and effectively.

The total cost of liposuction depends on several considerations, including the number of treatment areas, anticipated surgical time, anesthesia requirements, operating facility resources, and the complexity of the procedure. Because each surgical plan is customized, the most accurate way to obtain pricing information is through a personal consultation.
