Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Memorial Plastic Surgery Houston performs mini, full, and extended abdominoplasty as well as combination tummy tuck and Lipo360 packages. The full tummy tuck — the most commonly requested procedure — uses a hip-to-hip incision to address excess skin and separated abdominal muscles across the full anterior abdomen. All pricing is all-inclusive, bundling surgeon fees, anesthesia, operating room use, and post-operative follow-up visits. Procedures are carried out in the clinic's in-house AAAHC-accredited surgical suites by board-certified plastic surgeons.

Abdominoplasty — commonly called a tummy tuck — at Memorial Plastic Surgery Houston addresses two distinct tissue concerns that affect the appearance of the abdomen: excess or lax skin and the diastasis recti (separation of the paired rectus abdominis muscles) that frequently develops during pregnancy or after significant weight change. The practice offers three surgical variants, allowing the treatment plan to be calibrated to each patient's anatomy and extent of concern. The mini tummy tuck, priced from $5,600, targets the lower abdomen below the navel using a single short incision; it is well suited to patients with a small amount of lower-abdominal skin laxity and no significant muscle separation above the umbilicus. The full tummy tuck, starting at $14,000, is the most commonly requested variant: a hip-to-hip incision allows the surgeon to elevate the full abdominal skin flap, tighten the rectus muscle sheath from the xiphoid to the pubis using permanent sutures, remove the redundant skin, and reposition the navel to a natural anatomical location. The extended tummy tuck, from $15,000, extends the lateral excision to the flanks and potentially to the lower back, making it particularly effective for patients who have experienced massive weight loss and carry excess skin around the circumference of the trunk. For patients who wish to address both central and circumferential fat distribution in the same surgical episode, Memorial Plastic Surgery offers a combined tummy tuck plus Lipo360 package priced from $25,000 to $29,000. Lipo360 refers to liposuction performed around the full circumference of the midsection — abdomen, flanks, and back — in a single session, producing comprehensive waist narrowing that complements the skin and muscle work of the abdominoplasty. All tummy tuck procedures at Memorial Plastic Surgery Houston are performed under general anesthesia in the clinic's AAAHC-accredited in-house operating suites. The all-inclusive pricing model covers the surgeon's fee, board-certified anesthesia, all operating room charges, and every scheduled post-operative follow-up appointment. Multiple financing options are offered through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
