What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. It is particularly effective for patients with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss, and for those with diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles).
A full tummy tuck requires general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients return to light activity in 2 to 3 weeks and resume normal activity at 6 to 8 weeks. Final results are visible at 3 to 6 months as swelling fully resolves.
A mini tummy tuck addresses only the lower abdomen below the belly button and has a shorter scar and faster recovery. A combined tummy tuck with lipo 360 (circumferential liposuction) is commonly performed together for more comprehensive torso contouring.
How much does a Tummy Tuck cost in San Diego?
A tummy tuck in San Diego typically starts at $10,800, with most procedures ranging from $10,800 to $21,600 all-in depending on whether it is a mini or full procedure and whether liposuction is combined.

What to ask your provider
- Am I a candidate for a mini or full tummy tuck? What determines that?
- Do I have diastasis recti, and will you repair it during surgery?
- Will liposuction be combined with my tummy tuck?
- What does the quoted price include — surgeon fee, facility, anesthesia, compression garment, and follow-up visits?
- What are your protocols for DVT prevention and post-op drain management?
- Am I at a stable weight? Will future pregnancies affect results?
Frequently asked questions
How much does a tummy tuck cost in San Diego?
A tummy tuck in San Diego typically ranges from $10,800 to $21,600 all-in. A mini tummy tuck runs lower; a full tummy tuck combined with liposuction runs higher. San Diego has a mature aesthetic market with experienced practitioners and strong local demand.
How long is tummy tuck recovery?
Most patients take 2 to 3 weeks off work. You will wear a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks. Light activity resumes around week 3; full exercise is typically cleared at 6 to 8 weeks. Final results are visible at 3 to 6 months.
What is the difference between a mini and full tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck addresses skin laxity below the belly button only, leaves a shorter scar, and does not reposition the belly button. A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen, includes muscle repair if needed, and is the better option for patients with significant laxity above and below the navel.
Can a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
A tummy tuck can remove stretch marks located on skin that is excised. Stretch marks on the upper abdomen that remain after surgery are not addressed. If stretch mark removal is a primary goal, discuss realistic expectations with your surgeon.
