Also known as the Svelta Signature Tuck™, our refined approach to abdominoplasty, designed for smooth contours, precise muscle repair, and a confident silhouette.
Standalone tummy tucks start at $3,900. Want a complete transformation? Combine your tuck with a BBL starting at $8,500.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty (offered at Svelta Plastic Surgery as the Svelta Signature Tuck™), is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. It is one of the most effective procedures for restoring a flat, firm midsection after pregnancy, massive weight loss, or aging.
At Svelta Plastic Surgery, we frequently combine the tummy tuck with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for a complete body transformation in a single surgical session, maximizing results and minimizing overall recovery time.

A tummy tuck isn't the right procedure for everyone. Here's who our surgeons typically advise against moving forward, at least for now.
Beyond the general candidacy criteria above, a handful of specific situations lead our surgeons to recommend waiting or choosing a different approach entirely:
None of these rule out surgery permanently. Most are about timing. Your consultation is where we sort out whether now is the right time, or what needs to happen first.
We offer multiple tummy tuck techniques tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
The Svelta Signature Tuck™ in its complete form addresses the entire abdomen, upper and lower, with complete muscle repair and skin removal. Ideal for significant post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss changes.
Focuses on the lower abdomen only, with a shorter incision and quicker recovery. Best for patients with limited excess skin below the navel.
Extends the incision around the flanks to address excess skin on the sides of the body in addition to the abdomen. Often combined with Lipo 360.
Our most popular combination, removes abdomen skin and fat, transfers fat to the buttocks (BBL), and reshapes your entire midsection in one surgery.
Includes tummy tuck plus breast procedure (lift, augmentation, or reduction) and liposuction. The ultimate post-pregnancy restoration package. Learn more →
An advanced technique with both horizontal and vertical incisions, ideal for patients with significant excess skin both horizontally and vertically.
The two procedures are often confused, but they solve different problems, and many patients need both.
Liposuction removes stubborn fat through small incisions, but it does nothing for loose or excess skin, and it cannot repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). It works best on patients with good skin elasticity who mainly want to reduce fat volume in a specific area.
A tummy tuck addresses what liposuction can't: it removes excess skin, tightens the underlying muscle wall, and repositions the navel for a smoother, flatter contour. It's the right choice when skin laxity or muscle separation, not just fat, is the main concern, which is common after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Many patients don't have to choose one or the other. Combining a tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks (sometimes called a Lipo 360 combination) addresses skin, muscle, and fat in a single surgery. For a deeper side-by-side breakdown, see our full tummy tuck vs. liposuction comparison.
Your surgeon will walk through a personalized version of this checklist at your consultation, tailored to your health history and the specific technique you choose.
Recovery from a tummy tuck requires patience, but the results are long-lasting. Here is what to expect.
Rest at home. Drain tubes may be in place. Pain and swelling are normal. Pain medication will be prescribed to keep you comfortable.
Light walking encouraged to prevent blood clots. Compression garment worn 24/7. Avoid lifting anything over 10 lbs. Most patients return to desk work at day 10–14.
Gradually resume normal daily activities. Swelling and bruising continue to improve. No strenuous exercise. Final incision begins to heal and flatten.
Full results become visible as residual swelling resolves. Scars continue to fade. Most patients are cleared for all activity by 6–8 weeks.

Nationally, patient-reported tummy tuck costs run well above Svelta's starting price. RealSelf's aggregated data across recent reviews puts the average around $12,500, while the American Society of Plastic Surgeons cites a lower $7,215 average, but that ASPS figure covers only the surgeon's fee, not anesthesia, the surgical facility, or other related costs that RealSelf's patient-reported figure includes.
Four factors drive most of the variation in what you'll actually pay: technique (a mini tuck involves less surgical time than a full or fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty), anesthesia type, facility accreditation, and surgeon experience. Svelta's procedures are performed in an A+ accredited surgical suite with a dedicated anesthesia team, reflected in the quoted price rather than billed as a separate facility fee. Combining your tuck with liposuction or a BBL changes the total but is typically more cost-effective than two separate surgeries.
Cost doesn't have to be paid upfront. Svelta partners with CareCredit, Affirm, and an in-house financing option, with tummy tuck payment plans available from as low as $27/week for qualified applicants.

Board-certified surgeons. Thousands of abdominoplasty procedures performed. Natural results that last.
A tummy tuck in Miami is one of the most sought-after procedures for women and men who want to restore a flat, firm midsection after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or years of diet-resistant abdominal changes. At Svelta Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons combine surgical precision with an artistic approach to body contouring, producing smooth, natural-looking results that feel entirely like your own body, not like a procedure.
The best candidates for a tummy tuck at our Miami practice are patients in good health who are close to their ideal body weight and dealing with loose abdominal skin or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that exercise cannot correct. Many of our tummy tuck Miami patients are mothers who have completed their families and are ready to reclaim their pre-pregnancy figure. Others have lost significant weight and are ready to finalize their transformation.
Every tummy tuck at Svelta Plastic Surgery in Miami begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your anatomy, goals, and candidacy. Our surgeons take a layered approach: repairing the underlying muscle, removing excess skin, repositioning the navel, and placing a low, discreet scar. We also evaluate whether combining your abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks or a BBL would produce a more complete result in a single surgical session.
Tummy tuck results in Miami are permanent when paired with a stable weight. The skin removal and muscle repair do not reverse. Patients who choose Svelta for their abdominoplasty in Miami consistently describe their post-surgical figure as the body they were always meant to have: flatter, tighter, and more proportionate than anything achievable through diet or exercise alone.
If you have been considering a tummy tuck in Miami, Svelta Plastic Surgery offers complimentary consultations with our board-certified surgeons, flexible financing plans, and a dedicated care team with you from your first visit through full recovery.
