Abdominoplasty

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in San Antonio

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to create a flatter, more contoured abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening weakened or separated muscles. This procedure is especially popular for patients after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

At Alon Aesthetics Plastic Surgery, Dr. Regina Fearmonti focuses on delivering natural-looking, sculpted results that enhance your shape while maintaining balance with the rest of your body.

Are at or near a stable weight
Are in overall good health

A consultation is the best way to determine the right treatment plan for your goals.

What To Expect During Abdominoplasty Surgery

A tummy tuck typically involves:

Removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen
Tightening of the abdominal muscles
Reshaping and contouring of the midsection
Repositioning of the belly button, if needed

In some cases, liposuction may be combined with the procedure to enhance overall contour.

Procedure Time: Approximately 2–4+ hours

Temporary swelling, tightness, and bruising are expected
Surgical drains may be placed temporarily
A compression garment is typically worn to support healing

Abdominoplasty Results

You will notice an immediate improvement in abdominal contour following surgery, with continued refinement as your body heals. Results are long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Scarring After A Tummy Tuck

A low abdominal incision is placed strategically to be concealed beneath underwear or swimwear. While scars are permanent, they typically fade significantly over time with proper care.

At Alon Aesthetics, we take a comprehensive approach to scar healing and offer advanced in-office treatments to further improve the appearance, texture, and tone of surgical scars.

Treatments to Enhance Scar Healing:

Laser resurfacing with 1540 and 2940 technology to improve texture and discoloration
Potenza RF microneedling to stimulate collagen and soften scar tissue
Medical-grade microneedling to support skin remodeling and healing

These treatments can be introduced at the appropriate stage of healing and are customized based on your skin and scar progression. Our goal at Alon Aesthetics is not only a beautiful surgical result—but the most refined, natural-looking finish possible.

Cost of a Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck procedures start at $10,000.

The total cost varies depending on the extent of correction, whether liposuction is included, and overall surgical complexity. Financing options may be available.
