Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Alluring Plastic Surgery Miami performs mini, full, extended, and circumferential tummy tuck procedures to address loose abdominal skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles, and stubborn lower belly fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. Surgeon Dr. Victoria Karlinsky combines skin and fat removal with rectus muscle repair and, where indicated, belly button repositioning. The procedure may suit patients following significant weight loss, post-pregnancy changes, or age-related skin laxity. All-inclusive pricing covers the surgical team, anaesthesia, operating facility, compression garment, drain management, and post-operative follow-up appointments.

Abdominoplasty at Alluring Plastic Surgery Miami addresses the three core structural concerns of the abdominal wall: excess skin and soft tissue, subcutaneous fat deposits, and diastasis recti (separation of the rectus abdominis muscles at the linea alba). Dr. Victoria Karlinsky selects from four procedure variants depending on the patient's anatomy and the degree of correction required. The mini abdominoplasty targets only the lower abdomen below the navel, using a short horizontal incision above the pubic hairline to excise a modest panel of skin and fat and tighten the lower rectus fascia. Priced from $3,500 all-inclusive, it involves the least surgical dissection and carries the shortest recovery timeline. The full abdominoplasty extends the incision from hip to hip, elevates the entire abdominal skin flap up to the costal margin, resects the excess skin and fatty tissue, repairs diastasis across the full length of the abdominal wall, and repositions the umbilicus through a new opening in the elevated flap. This is the most commonly performed variant and is priced $4,000–$12,000. The extended abdominoplasty adds lateral dissection onto the flanks to address lax tissue over the lateral lower back and hip roll areas, with pricing from $5,000–$15,000. The circumferential or belt body lift extends the resection entirely around the lower torso, treating the buttocks and posterior flank simultaneously — the most comprehensive option and most commonly sought after massive weight loss, priced $12,000–$18,000. Every tummy tuck at Alluring Plastic Surgery Miami includes surgical drains placed intraoperatively to prevent seroma accumulation, a medical-grade compression garment issued on discharge, and all scheduled follow-up appointments. Recovery involves two to three weeks away from work and physically demanding activity, with full clearance for strenuous exercise at three to six months. Final contour results continue to refine as swelling subsides and scar tissue matures over six to twelve months. Patients travelling from outside Miami can use the clinic's fly-in program, which coordinates accommodation with recovery suite partners.
