Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Dr. Sumpter's abdominoplasty procedure addresses excess skin, stubborn abdominal fat, and weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Ideal for post-pregnancy and post-weight-loss patients, the procedure creates a flatter, more toned midsection while improving core strength and posture. Frequently combined with liposuction or other body contouring techniques. All pricing is determined during a personalized consultation.

Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery provides tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) performed by Dr. Kristi Sumpter, D.O., a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with more than 20 years of surgical experience in the Houston area. Abdominoplasty is one of the most transformative body contouring procedures, addressing concerns that diet and exercise alone cannot resolve. Dr. Sumpter's approach targets three key problem areas: excess and lax skin that commonly develops after significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies; stubborn localized fat deposits that resist lifestyle interventions; and diastasis recti, the separation or weakening of the abdominal wall muscles that occurs during pregnancy. By surgically tightening the underlying musculature and removing redundant skin, the procedure results in a flatter, firmer abdominal profile. Patients commonly report improved posture, greater core stability, and increased clothing confidence following recovery. The procedure can be combined with liposuction or other body contouring techniques as part of a mommy makeover or broader surgical plan. Dr. Sumpter's advanced training in general and cancer surgery lends precision and anatomical depth to her approach to abdominal procedures. Consultations are required to assess candidacy, discuss incision placement, review expected recovery timelines, and obtain individualized pricing. The clinic accepts a wide range of payment methods and offers financing to support patients in accessing surgical care in Houston, Texas.
