Tummy Tuck in Indianapolis

You may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck if you are 18 or older, within 10 to 15 pounds of your goal weight, and not planning future pregnancies. That being said, the only way to truly determine your candidacy is to schedule a consultation with our surgeons.

During your consultation, our team reviews your health history, examines your areas of concern, and maintains a safe space for you to discuss your aspirations. Based on your input and our findings, we determine whether a tummy tuck is your best option and craft your personalized surgical plan. Depending on your situation, we may recommend pairing a tummy tuck with additional procedures—such as Emsella to strengthen pelvic muscles or CoolSculpting to eliminate fat in other areas—for comprehensive outcomes.

Yes. Our highly skilled surgeons can perform a range of cosmetic and medical procedures at the same time as your tummy tuck in Indianapolis. Many women include a tummy tuck in their mommy makeover, pairing the procedure with a breast lift, liposuction, or labiaplasty for comprehensive rejuvenation after pregnancy.

By combining personalized procedures, we empower you to achieve all of your goals, without the downtime of multiple separate surgeries.

The primary difference between a mini and a full tummy tuck lies in the extent of correction needed to achieve your goals. Depending on the amount of excess skin and fat you wish to remove, your surgeon determines the most appropriate method.

A full tummy tuck involves a longer incision, which allows the surgeon to return the rectus (abdominal muscles) to the midline, repairing diastasis recti. A mini tummy tuck uses a smaller incision and only addresses skin and fat in the region below the navel.

During your initial consultation, our team will review these procedures with you. After an examination of your areas of concern, along with a discussion of your lifestyle and budget, we will help you determine which procedure will work best for you.

Yes. Virtually every tummy tuck our experienced plastic surgeons perform does not require drains. Using advanced suturing techniques, our skilled surgeons secure tissue layers internally, eliminating the need for post-operative drains. This approach promotes a smoother, more comfortable recovery process and less disruption to your daily life.

Yes! Depending on your treatment goals and lifestyle, our providers might determine that you’re an ideal candidate for nonsurgical care.

Based on your consultation, we can recommend a series of noninvasive treatments in place of surgical intervention:

• CoolSculpting Elite: Ideal for treating unwanted pockets of fat that linger around your abdomen. We can use the CoolSculpting Elite device to freeze and break down stubborn fat cells.
• Physiq 360: For a weakened core or milder cases of abdominal separation, our licensed providers can administer treatment with Physiq 360. This device delivers deep heat to damage fat cells and electrical pulses to tone your abs.
• EVERESSE: If you struggle with unwanted skin laxity around your midsection, your provider can use EVERESSE radiofrequency to activate skin-firming collagen production.

At Turkle & Associates, most abdominoplasties fall within the range of $9,890 and $11,380. We base this price on the quality of our surgical care, along with the tools needed to facilitate your tummy tuck.

However, this cosmetic procedure is also unique to you. The extent of your treatment expectations naturally informs the depth and breadth of your care.

Our providers are transparent about the cost of your care. As they shape your treatment plan, they’ll sit down with you to explain the procedure and what you can expect financially.

When estimating the cost of your tummy tuck in Indianapolis, we factor in:

• Your surgeon’s proficiency. Backed by 30+ years of surgical expertise and thousands of successful abdominoplasties, Dr. Turkle and Dr. Specht are among the top cosmetic surgeons in Indiana.
• The procedural complexity. A tummy tuck that includes liposuction, skin-tightening, and abdominal muscle correction is more time- and labor-intensive than a procedure focused on removing excess abdominal skin.
• Fees for the operating room and surgical tools, including anesthesia, gauze, and more.

Generally, a tummy tuck is considered cosmetic and is therefore not covered by insurance. However, some insurance companies may cover the procedure if it is deemed medically necessary, such as to address chronic pain or correct a hernia. If your tummy tuck is medically necessary, you must go through a pre-approval process with your insurance company before scheduling the procedure to ensure coverage.

We’re committed to helping every patient invest in their confidence without compromise, so we also offer financing options to remove financial barriers for cosmetic cases. Through flexible monthly payments, you can achieve your transformation on your terms. During your consultation for a tummy tuck in Indianapolis, we’ll help you explore your best options based on your unique situation.
