Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Dr. C. Bob Basu performs tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) at his accredited Houston surgical facilities, addressing excess abdominal skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and stubborn lower belly fat. All-inclusive pricing from $16,300 covers surgeon, facility, anaesthesia, and complete pre- and post-operative care. A plus-size tummy tuck for patients with more extensive tissue removal requirements starts at $26,200. The procedure is a frequent component of mommy makeover packages and post-bariatric body contouring.

Tummy tuck surgery at Basu Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Houston is a surgical body contouring procedure that addresses three distinct structural concerns of the abdominal area that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone: excess and lax abdominal skin, separation or weakening of the rectus abdominis muscles (diastasis recti), and residual subcutaneous fat deposits in the lower abdomen. Dr. C. Bob Basu performs abdominoplasty through a low, hip-to-hip incision positioned to be concealed below the bikini line. The procedure involves elevating the abdominal skin flap, repairing and tightening the underlying rectus fascia to restore a flatter, firmer abdominal wall, and removing the excess lower abdominal skin before closing the incision with the remaining skin under appropriate tension. The navel is repositioned through a separate incision to maintain natural positioning after skin removal. Liposuction is frequently incorporated to refine the flanks and waist for a more comprehensive body contour result. All-inclusive pricing at Basu Aesthetics starts at $16,300 for a standard tummy tuck, encompassing all surgeon fees, use of an accredited surgical facility, board-certified anaesthesia, and all pre- and post-operative appointments. For patients requiring a more extensive procedure — those with a larger volume of excess tissue, a higher BMI, or significant skin laxity following major weight loss — the plus-size tummy tuck starts at $26,200 and addresses the additional surgical complexity and operating time involved. Abdominoplasty at Basu Aesthetics is commonly performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a mommy makeover — a combination approach that pairs tummy tuck with breast surgery and liposuction in a single surgical episode to comprehensively restore the pre-pregnancy body contour. Dr. Basu also performs body lift surgery following significant weight loss, where tummy tuck is extended to address loose skin across the circumference of the lower body. Post-operative recovery typically involves two to four weeks of limited activity, with full results visible over three to six months as swelling resolves and the abdominal contour settles. Medical financing is available from approximately $322 per month.
