A sleek, toned abdomen and defined waistline are hallmarks of a youthful, fit physique. However, pregnancy and weight fluctuations can cause loose, sagging skin and a protruding tummy. Get the firmer, flatter stomach you want with tummy tuck surgery at our Houston locations.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical body contouring procedure that slims and firms the abdomen and waist. The procedure also involves repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles, if necessary. Abdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction for optimal contouring and included as part of a comprehensive mommy makeover for women who wish to restore their pre-baby shape.

Our surgeons begin by placing you under general anesthesia and making a horizontal incision just above the pubic area. Through this incision, they repair and tighten the weakened fascia and muscles. After trimming away excess skin and repositioning the belly button to ensure it looks natural, we carefully close your incisions using sutures or skin adhesives.
A tummy tuck typically takes 2 to 5 hours. Your surgeon may recommend an overnight stay in one of the private recovery suites at our QUAD A-certified SurgiCentre. Our well-trained registered nurses carefully monitor and care for our overnight guests.
At ACPS, our surgeons use personalized surgical techniques, so your tummy tuck is never one-size-fits-all. Options include:
A full or traditional tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area, including the upper and lower abdomen. It typically involves repairing separated abdominal muscles and repositioning the belly button, making it an ideal option for patients who want to redefine their midsection after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
We offer a mini tummy tuck in Houston for patients with minimal excess skin and fat concentrated in the lower abdomen (below the belly button). Our surgeons use smaller incisions, and the procedure has a shorter recovery window than traditional tummy tucks.
An extended tummy tuck goes beyond the traditional approach by addressing excess skin and fat around the flanks and lower back. It’s ideal for patients requiring more extensive contouring after massive weight loss.
Tummy tuck recovery varies depending on the extent of your procedure. However, most patients experience these recovery milestones during the healing process:
You should closely adhere to the detailed postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal tummy tuck healing and results.
The results of a tummy tuck are permanent if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Remember, future pregnancies or significant weight fluctuations can impact the longevity of your results.
Absolutely! Many patients combine a tummy tuck with a breast augmentation or breast lift to restore the abdomen and breasts during mommy makeover surgery. Liposuction is also commonly paired with a tummy tuck for optimal results.
While you may lose a few pounds after a tummy tuck, its primary goal is body contouring—not weight loss. Ideal abdominoplasty candidates are already at or near their goal weight.
Scars are an inevitable part of cosmetic surgery, but our skilled surgeons carefully minimize and conceal them as much as possible. Incisions are placed low on the abdomen, so they’re easily hidden by underwear or swimwear. Over time, they significantly flatten and fade. Our surgeons may also recommend helpful scar treatments.
