Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Surgical abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal wall, available as a mini or full procedure. The mini tummy tuck addresses skin laxity below the navel with a shorter scar and reduced recovery demand. The full tummy tuck also repairs the rectus abdominis muscles and repositions the navel for a more complete transformation. All pricing is fully inclusive of surgeon, anesthesia, facility, and post-operative care — no hidden add-ons.

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) at Texas Liposuction Specialty Clinic is performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Payne and is available in two forms: mini abdominoplasty and full abdominoplasty with liposuction. The mini tummy tuck targets the area below the navel, removing a relatively compact band of excess skin and tightening the lower abdominal wall musculature. It is best suited to patients with localized skin laxity who are otherwise close to their ideal body composition. The procedure involves a shorter incision than the full version, a somewhat reduced recovery timeline, and typically fewer days away from work or daily routine. Mini tummy tuck pricing ranges from $8,000 to $10,000, fully inclusive of surgeon, anesthesia, and facility fees along with all post-operative care supplies. The full tummy tuck is a more comprehensive procedure addressing both the upper and lower abdomen. It typically involves repairing the rectus abdominis muscles where separation (diastasis recti) has occurred, removing excess skin from the full abdominal panel, and repositioning the navel. Liposuction is included to refine the flanks and surrounding contour for a more cohesive overall result. This option is often chosen by patients following significant weight changes or after childbirth, where skin elasticity and muscle integrity may be substantially reduced. Full tummy tuck pricing ranges from $14,000 to $16,000 all-inclusive. Dr. Payne's training under fellowship programs in reconstructive plastic surgery and craniofacial surgery informs a technically precise approach to tissue handling and scar placement. The clinic's post-operative protocol includes compression garments, follow-up visits over one year, and a dedicated bilingual care coordinator to manage recovery questions in English or Spanish.
