Is a Tummy Tuck for Me?

A custom tummy tuck performed by Dr. Balinger will remove excess skin and fat and strengthen weakened muscles to create a more sculpted, firm contour, free of the bulges caused by loose skin, stretch marks, and excess fatty tissues. There are several reasons why people choose to have a tummy tuck:

Pregnancy

A woman’s body goes through a remarkable set of changes during pregnancy, with the skin and muscle tissue stretching to accommodate the growing baby. After pregnancy, the abdominal muscles and skin may be unable to return to a pre-pregnancy firmness. Many women choose to have a tummy tuck to improve the appearance of stretched or split tummy muscles, along with sagging skin or fat.

Weight loss

Significant weight loss can result in stretched skin on the abdomen that cannot snap back. The accomplishment of finally losing excess weight, whether through diet and exercise or after bariatric surgery, may require the final step of removing excess skin and residual fat and tightening the underlying muscles.

Genetics

You may have inherited a genetic makeup that naturally predisposes you to have a frustrating, bulging midsection. You may have a hard time improving your abdominal appearance even with regular exercise and strict dieting. A tummy tuck may be a good solution. 

What are the Types of Tummy Tucks?

Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Balinger performs several tummy tuck techniques, with the approach chosen to match the individual’s condition.

How much does a tummy tuck cost in Houston?

Costs for one of the best tummy tucks in Houston will vary depending on the extent of the work performed and your personal goals for improvement. Factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and postoperative garment fees may all affect the final price. Generally, a tummy tuck with Dr. Balinger will range from $5,700 to around $12,500. 

It’s important to recognize that choosing a plastic surgeon based on cost may not yield the exceptional results you deserve. It’s always best to choose a surgeon based on their training, experience, artistry, reputation, and communication skills, as well as their testimonials and before and after photos. 

Dr. Balinger is a Fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon who delivers personalized outcomes carefully tailored to your unique goals, anatomy, comfort levels, and lifestyle. He will discuss the costs of abdominoplasty during your private consultation and also provide information about financing.
