A tummy tuck is often performed as part of a full mommy makeover - pairing abdominoplasty with breast augmentation, lift, or fat transfer in a single operation to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding with less downtime than staged procedures.
By combining drainless abdominoplasty, advanced liposuction, and skin-tightening technologies, our surgeons deliver natural-looking, sculpted results with improved comfort and recovery.
A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck removes more skin than a full tummy tuck by adding a vertical incision from the pubic bone up the midline to the breastbone.
The tummy tuck is performed as an outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia in the office surgical suite
Westlake Plastic Surgery in Austin provides Mommy Makeovers which combines a tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction to get your pre-pregnancy body back!
For patients who have lost significant weight and have an excess of hanging skin, an extended tummy tuck uses the same type of incision as a regular tummy tuck, but extends it beyond the hips onto the lower back.
For a full tummy tuck, the skin between the belly button and the area above the pubic hair is removed. The scar is kept very low and goes from one hip bone to the other.
Some women combine liposuction and a tummy tuck with their breast reduction for a complete Mommy Makeover .
A tummy tuck is commonly combined with liposuction to refine the waistline and flanks.
The scar is shorter than a full tummy tuck . However, the results are less dramatic.
A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck removes more skin than a full tummy tuck by adding a vertical incision from the pubic bone up the midline to the breastbone.
Recovery from a tummy tuck usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks.
At Austin Plastic Surgery Institute, tummy tuck surgery goes beyond traditional techniques. By combining drainless abdominoplasty, advanced liposuction, and skin-tightening technologies, our surgeons deliver natural-looking, sculpted results with improved comfort and recovery.

Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and pockets of fat around the midsection after weight loss, childbirth, or other similar issues
The full tummy tuck is a comprehensive procedure, addressing excess skin and fat across both the upper and lower abdomen.
Revision abdominoplasty is often performed through a procedure very similar to the initial abdominoplasty surgery, with slight modifications made depending on the reason for revision.
This is the most common reason that patients seek revision abdominoplasty surgery. During this type of revision procedure, the same incision is used to remove the skin below the previous abdominopalsty incision which is possible after softening of the upper abdominal skin.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is about restoring a firm, comfortable midsection when diet and exercise can only go so far.

Tummy Tuck generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Austin clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Austin clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Austin providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Austin providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen above and below the navel, repairs muscle separation along the full length, and requires repositioning the belly button. A mini tummy tuck only treats the area below the navel, uses a shorter scar, and does not move the belly button, but it also cannot fix laxity or muscle separation above it. Most people who want a mini turn out to need a full one, and a surgeon who tells you that is being honest rather than upselling.
There is a permanent scar running hip to hip, low enough to sit beneath underwear or a swimsuit in most cases, plus a small scar around the navel with a full tummy tuck. It is red and raised for several months, then fades over one to two years to a thin pale line in most patients. People prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring should raise that at consultation. Anyone promising a scarless tummy tuck is describing a different operation.
You can, but surgeons generally advise against it. A subsequent pregnancy stretches the repaired muscles and skin again, which can undo the result and mean a second operation. It is not dangerous to become pregnant after a tummy tuck, but it is expensive to redo. If you plan more children in the near future, waiting is usually the better financial and surgical decision.
The cosmetic portion is not covered. In specific cases insurance may cover a related procedure called a panniculectomy, which removes a hanging apron of skin when it causes documented rashes, infections, or functional problems, most often after major weight loss. That is not the same operation as a tummy tuck and does not include muscle repair or contouring. Ask your surgeon's office to explore it if you have documented skin problems.
This is one of the more uncomfortable cosmetic operations, particularly when muscle repair is included, and the first week is genuinely difficult. Patients describe intense tightness rather than sharp pain, and most cannot stand fully upright for several days. Pain management has improved considerably with long-acting local anesthetics, and many surgeons now use them specifically to reduce opioid needs. Plan for real help at home for at least the first week.
