Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery & Who’s a Candidate

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens underlying muscles. This creates a flatter, firmer midsection and can restore confidence after pregnancy, weight loss or aging. There are several types of abdominoplasty performed in Mexico:

Full Tummy Tuck – Addresses the entire abdominal wall, removes moderate excess skin and repositions the belly button. Starts at $6,500.
Mini Tummy Tuck – Ideal for patients with minimal lower‑abdominal laxity; pricing is customised based on the amount of skin and muscle tightening required.
Extended Tummy Tuck – Includes flanks (“love handles”) and costs reflect the additional contouring needed.
Circumferential Tummy Tuck (360°) – Combines a traditional abdominoplasty with a posterior lift to target the entire waistline.
Plus‑Size Tummy Tuck – Tailored for patients with higher BMI or significant skin redundancy.
Male Tummy Tuck – Focuses on creating a more masculine contour; can be combined with gynecomastia surgery.
C‑Section Tummy Tuck – Repairs stretched muscles and removes excess skin following pregnancy; often part of a mommy makeover.
