Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Standard, mini, 360° circumferential, and Fleur de Lis tummy tuck options with all-inclusive pricing from $12,000. All procedures at Austin Plastic Surgeon incorporate VASER liposuction for enhanced contouring, Exparel long-acting local anesthetic for improved post-operative comfort, and progressive tension sutures to minimize tension on the closure. Addresses loose abdominal skin, diastasis recti, and excess fat following pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Austin Plastic Surgeon's tummy tuck programme offers four distinct abdominoplasty approaches to address different degrees and distributions of abdominal laxity, with all-inclusive published pricing. A distinguishing feature of the practice is the routine incorporation of three surgical refinements: VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction, which uses ultrasonic energy to emulsify fat selectively before aspiration, enabling more precise contouring of the waistline while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue compared to traditional liposuction; Exparel (liposomal bupivacaine), a long-acting local anesthetic injected at the end of surgery that provides up to 72 hours of targeted pain relief, reducing dependence on opioid medications post-operatively; and progressive tension sutures, an internal suturing technique that distributes tension across the abdominal wall to eliminate dead space and reduce the risk of seroma formation. The standard tummy tuck ($12,500–$13,500) removes lower abdominal skin, tightens the abdominal fascia and diastasis recti repair, and repositions the umbilicus. The mini tummy tuck ($12,000–$15,000) is limited to the area below the navel and is suited to patients with primarily lower abdominal concerns. The Circumferential 360° tummy tuck ($24,500–$28,000) extends the contouring to the flanks and back, addressing the entire torso circumference — a common choice for patients after significant weight loss or bariatric surgery. The Fleur de Lis technique ($18,000–$21,000) adds a vertical midline incision to remove excess skin in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions, suited for patients with significant skin redundancy after major weight loss.
