How much do common procedures cost?

No. All body contouring procedures performed at Sam Fuller Plastic Surgery are cosmetic in nature and are not billed through insurance. This allows for greater customization, precision, and a focus on aesthetic outcomes.

Do you accept insurance for these procedures?

We offer flexible payment options to help make your procedure more accessible, including:

• CareCredit
• Alphaeon Credit

Our team is happy to guide you through these options to find a plan that works best for you.

What financing or payment options are available?

Most patients can expect a recovery period of approximately 4–6 weeks, depending on the procedure. Many patients return to light activity sooner, but full healing and optimal results take time and patience.

How long is recovery after surgery?

Yes. Compression garments are an important part of recovery and are typically worn for 6–8 weeks. They help reduce swelling, support healing tissues, and optimize your final result.

Will I need to wear compression garments?

This depends on your procedure and lifestyle:

• Light activity or desk work: often within 1–2 weeks
• Exercise and strenuous activity: usually after 4–6 weeks

Dr. Fuller will provide a personalized recovery plan based on your surgery.

When can I return to work or normal activities?

Absolutely. Every consultation is tailored to your anatomy, goals, and preferences. Dr. Fuller takes a detailed, educational approach to ensure you understand your options and feel confident in your plan.

Are consultations personalized?

Dr. Sam Fuller focuses on precision, natural results, and advanced techniques—including drainless tummy tucks, thoughtful incision placement, and internal support methods—to create outcomes that look refined and long-lasting.

It’s an excellent resource to better understand procedures, recovery, and decision-making before your visit.

Where can I learn more before my consultation?

The first step is scheduling a consultation. During your visit, we’ll discuss your goals, review options, and create a customized surgical plan designed specifically for you. A consultation requires a $100 deposit, which is quite common for plastic surgery consultations, and this amount goes toward to your future surgery.        

How do I get started?

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about outcomes. The best candidates are those looking to refine and enhance—not completely change—their appearance. A consultation with Dr. Sam Fuller will determine the safest and most effective plan for your goals.

Am I a good candidate for plastic surgery?

Yes. For safety and optimal results, patients are typically required to have a BMI below 32 to be a candidate for a tummy tuck. This helps reduce surgical risks and improves healing, contour, and long-term outcomes.

Is there a BMI requirement for a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck is a comprehensive abdominal contouring procedure that may include:

• Flank liposuction for improved waistline definition
• Muscle repair (rectus plication) to tighten the core
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Repositioning and shaping of the belly button

Dr. Fuller’s approach focuses on creating a natural contour with smooth transitions and a refined, athletic appearance.

What is included in a tummy tuck procedure?

Yes, depending on your anatomy and goals, additional procedures may be recommended, including:

• Liposuction of areas such as medial thighs or back
• Hernia repair if present
• Extended contouring for more comprehensive results

These are discussed transparently during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Are there additional costs I should be aware of?

In addition to tummy tucks and liposuction, Dr. Sam Fuller performs a full range of body contouring procedures, including:

• Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
• Thigh Lift
• Lower Body Lift
• Bra Line Lift

Each procedure is customized to restore proportion, remove excess skin, and create smoother contours.

What other body contouring procedures do you perform?

Yes. Breast reduction is a highly impactful procedure that can relieve symptoms such as neck, back, and shoulder discomfort while improving breast shape and proportion. Although it can be covered by insurance in some practices, Dr. Fuller performs this procedure cosmetically, allowing for greater control over aesthetic outcomes and technique.

Do you perform breast reduction surgery?

Yes. Dr. Fuller’s philosophy centers on balanced, natural-looking results that complement your body. The goal is refinement—not exaggeration—so you look like yourself, just more confident and proportioned.

Will my results look natural?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine procedures—such as a mommy makeover (tummy tuck + breast surgery)—to achieve comprehensive results in a single surgical setting. This can also streamline recovery time.

Can procedures be combined?

Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While natural aging continues, surgical improvements such as skin removal and muscle repair provide durable structural changes. 

How long do results last?

Dr. Fuller's busy season usually runs October through March, and may extend 6-8 weeks out. Non-busy months, such as April -September, may be just a few weeks between your consultation and you surgery date. It is best to plan ahead in order to get your preferred date as well as prepare for the recovery in addition to the surgery.
