Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) at DPSI removes excess abdominal skin and fat and repairs diastasis recti for a flatter, contoured midsection. Mini, full, and lipo-abdominoplasty techniques available. Performed by ABPS board-certified surgeons including Dr. Bradley Hubbard at the AAAASF-accredited Dallas Day Surgery Center. Frequently combined with liposuction of the flanks as part of mommy makeover packages.

Abdominoplasty at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute addresses excess abdominal skin and laxity of the abdominal wall muscles that cannot be resolved by diet and exercise — most commonly after pregnancy, major weight loss, or age-related skin laxity. Dr. Bradley A. Hubbard, who has a biomedical engineering background, brings a technically precise approach to abdominoplasty and is a recognised expert in mommy makeover combinations. The mini abdominoplasty addresses localised skin laxity confined to the lower abdomen with a shorter scar and no umbilical repositioning; it is suited to patients with mild to moderate excess below the umbilicus and well-maintained upper abdominal skin tone. The full abdominoplasty is the gold standard for patients with skin excess spanning the full abdominal wall: a wide ellipse of skin and fat from the lower rib margin to the mons pubis is excised, the rectus abdominis muscles are tightened in the midline (diastasis recti repair) to restore core structure and waist definition, and the umbilicus is repositioned through a new opening in the elevated skin flap. A lipo-abdominoplasty adds concurrent liposuction of the flanks, upper abdomen, and waist to the standard tuck, producing more comprehensive body contouring than skin resection alone. Belt lipectomy is available for massive weight loss patients with circumferential trunk skin excess requiring a full lower body lift. DPSI frequently performs abdominoplasty as part of a mommy makeover — a combined session addressing the breast (augmentation, reduction, or lift) and abdomen in a single anaesthetic event. All procedures are performed at the AAAASF-accredited Dallas Day Surgery Center, with post-operative recovery at the Cloisters facility available. Dallas market average for full tummy tuck is approximately $12,283.
