Cosmetic surgery cost by procedure in Tampa is set by the procedure variant, the extent of the work, and who operates, not by the procedure name alone. This page ranks what drives price for each major procedure at Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center in 2026 and points to the cost guide for each one.
- Cosmetic surgery cost by procedure in Tampa depends on variant, extent of work, and surgeon, not procedure name.
- Breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and facelift each have the widest price spread because each has several distinct techniques.
- Combined procedures such as the mommy makeover are quoted as one plan, not as a sum of separate prices.
- Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center quotes in writing after a consultation with Dr. Joseph Castellano or Dr. Mindi Giglio.
Short answer: what cosmetic surgery costs in Tampa in 2026
There is no single honest number for any procedure. A tummy tuck can mean a mini, a full, an extended, or an Avelar technique, and each is a different operation with a different quote. The same is true of a breast augmentation, where implant type, size, incision, and placement all change the total.
This page does not print dollar figures. Prices move, and a number frozen on a benchmark page goes stale within a quarter. Each procedure row below links to the cost guide that carries current patient-facing information, and the final quote comes only from a consultation.
Why this matters
Patients who compare quotes on procedure name alone end up comparing different operations. A low quote for a mini tummy tuck is not a deal on a full tummy tuck. Compare the scope of work first, then the number.
Every surgical quote in Tampa is built from the same components:
- Surgeon fee
- Facility fee
- Anesthesia fee
- Implants or materials, where applicable
- Post-surgical garments and follow-up care
When a quote lists fewer components than another, ask which ones are missing. That question explains most apparent price gaps.
Cost drivers by procedure: the benchmark table
The table below ranks each major procedure by how much its price varies and names the variable that moves it most. Use the "Overall" row as your yardstick: every procedure shares the same five quote components, and the differences come from the drivers listed.
| Procedure | Category | Biggest price driver | Common add-on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall (all surgical procedures) | Surgical | Scope of work, then surgeon and facility | Garments, follow-up care | Using as your baseline |
| Breast augmentation | Breast | Implant type and size (the Castellano guides cover 350cc to 650cc), incision, placement | Breast lift | Adding volume with natural proportions |
| Breast lift | Breast | Degree of sagging, whether implants are added | Augmentation, areola reduction | Restoring position after pregnancy or weight change |
| Breast reduction | Breast | Tissue amount removed, whether a lift is combined | Lift | Relieving weight and discomfort |
| Tummy tuck | Body | Technique: mini, full, extended, Avelar, fleur-de-lis | Liposuction, diastasis repair | Loose skin and abdominal wall laxity |
| Liposuction | Body | Number of areas, technique (traditional, VASER, AirSculpt, HD) | Skin tightening | Localized fat that resists diet and exercise |
| Mommy makeover | Combined | Which procedures are bundled | Any breast or body add-on | Post-pregnancy changes in breasts and abdomen |
| Facelift | Face | Technique: mini, deep plane, full | Neck lift, eyelid surgery | Jowls and midface descent |
| Rhinoplasty | Face | Cosmetic vs functional, primary vs revision | Septum repair | Changing nose shape or fixing airflow |
| Eyelid surgery | Face | Upper, lower, or both | Brow lift, facelift | Heavy lids and under-eye bags |
| Labiaplasty | Body | Technique and whether combined | Monsplasty | Comfort and aesthetic concerns |
Which procedures vary most, and which vary least
Tummy tuck and breast augmentation vary most. Both have four or more recognized variants, and the variant is the price. A mini tummy tuck and a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck for major weight loss are different operations on different patients.
Eyelid surgery and a single-area liposuction vary least. Their scope is narrow and their variants are few, so quotes for the same scope tend to land closer together.
This ranking is a structural comparison based on the number of technique options per procedure, not a price survey. It does not tell you what any procedure costs, which is why the quote step below matters.
Methodology and limits
This page compares procedures by the variables that change their quotes, drawn from the Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center procedure guides for Tampa patients in 2026. It does not average prices from other practices.
The limitation is plain: the table cannot tell you your own quote. Anatomy, goals, and prior surgery change scope, and scope changes price.
Breast procedures
Breast augmentation
Implant choice is the first lever. Silicone and saline carry different price points, and shape and profile options add further variation. Size matters mainly through the surgical plan, since a larger implant can call for a different pocket or a lift.
Incision and placement change the operation. Four incision types exist, and over or under the muscle placement changes both the technique and the recovery. Ask which combination your quote assumes.
Best for: patients who want proportional volume. Verdict: get a written quote only after a sizing consultation.
Breast lift and breast reduction
Both operations depend on how much tissue is repositioned or removed. A lift combined with an implant is a larger operation than either alone, and a reduction paired with a lift is quoted as a combined plan.
Areola reduction is a common add-on to a lift and is priced separately within the combined quote.
Best for: patients whose main concern is position or weight of the breast rather than volume. Verdict: ask for the combined quote, not two separate ones.
Body procedures
Tummy tuck
Technique sets the price tier. A mini tummy tuck addresses the lower abdomen, a full tummy tuck addresses the whole abdomen, and extended and Avelar versions address the flanks and additional tissue. Diastasis recti repair is a separate part of the plan when muscle separation is present.
Tummy tuck with liposuction is common, and the two are quoted together. The same applies to monsplasty.
Best for: loose skin and abdominal wall changes after pregnancy or weight loss. Verdict: pick the variant first, then compare quotes.
Liposuction
Price follows the number of areas treated and the technique. Traditional tumescent liposuction, VASER, AirSculpt, and high-definition liposuction are different approaches with different equipment and effort.
Technique matters less than surgical skill for the final result. A higher-tech name does not guarantee a better outcome.
Best for: localized fat in people near their goal weight. Verdict: quote per area, and confirm which technique is included.
Mommy makeover and daddy makeover
A makeover is a plan, not a procedure. Most combine a tummy tuck, a breast procedure, and often liposuction, and the total reflects which pieces you choose.
Combining operations in one session changes the facility and anesthesia structure compared with separate surgeries. That is why a bundled quote rarely equals the sum of separate ones, and the mommy makeover guide breaks down the typical components.
Best for: patients addressing several concerns at once. Verdict: define the list of procedures before asking for a number.
Face procedures
Facelift
A mini facelift, a deep plane facelift, and a full facelift are different operations. The technique, the extent of dissection, and whether a neck lift or eyelid surgery is combined set the quote.
Longevity differs by technique, so the cheapest option is not always the lowest cost per year of result.
Best for: jowls, midface descent, and neck laxity. Verdict: match technique to your concerns, then compare.
Rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery
Rhinoplasty price depends on whether the goal is cosmetic, functional, or both, and whether it is a primary or revision surgery. Revision work is more complex and is quoted accordingly.
Eyelid surgery depends on upper, lower, or combined lids. Insurance may apply in some functional cases, which only a consultation can determine.
Best for: targeted facial change with a narrow surgical scope. Verdict: confirm the exact scope in the quote.
Non-surgical treatments
Medical spa treatments follow a different pricing logic: per unit, per syringe, or per session. Botox is priced by units, filler by syringe, and devices such as CoolSculpting by treatment area and number of sessions.
Because these change with product and session count, the dedicated guides on Botox, fillers, and CoolSculpting on the Castellano site are the right place to check current structure. A cheaper per-unit price is not a better deal if the injector is less experienced.
How to use these benchmarks
- Define the variant first. Write down the exact technique before comparing quotes.
- Ask what the quote includes. Surgeon, facility, anesthesia, implants, garments, follow-up.
- Quote combined procedures as one plan. Do not add separate quotes together.
- Check surgeon credentials before price. Dr. Joseph Castellano and Dr. Mindi Giglio are board-certified.
- Plan payment early. Financing options are laid out in the cosmetic surgery financing guide.

FAQ
What is the cost of cosmetic surgery by procedure in Tampa in 2026?
It depends on the procedure variant, extent of work, and surgeon. Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center provides an itemized written quote after a consultation, because the same procedure name covers different operations.
Why do two Tampa quotes for a tummy tuck differ so much?
They often describe different operations. A mini, full, extended, or Avelar tummy tuck each has a different scope, and quotes may include or exclude anesthesia, facility, and garments.
Is a mommy makeover cheaper than separate procedures?
A mommy makeover is quoted as one combined plan, so the total reflects the procedures you choose. Ask for the plan quote rather than adding individual quotes together.
What is included in a cosmetic surgery quote?
A complete quote covers the surgeon fee, facility fee, anesthesia fee, implants or materials, and post-surgical garments and follow-up. Ask the practice to list each item.
Does technique change the price of liposuction?
Yes. Traditional tumescent liposuction, VASER, AirSculpt, and high-definition liposuction are different approaches, and the number of areas treated also changes the quote.
Can I finance cosmetic surgery in Tampa?
Yes. Financing options exist, including CarePay-style medical credit. Review the financing guide, then confirm current terms with the practice.
Are board-certified surgeons more expensive?
Certification is a safety and training credential, not a price tier. Compare scope and surgeon qualifications together, not price alone.
One last thing
The most useful question at a consultation is not how much, but what exactly is included in this number. A surgeon who answers that line by line is giving you a quote you can compare in 2026 and still trust at your surgery date.
