Tummy Tuck Cost in Miami 2026: Complete Pricing Guide
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one of the most transformative body contouring procedures available — and Miami is one of the best places in the country to have it done. If you’re considering a tummy tuck with Dr. Nidia De Jesus, here’s what to expect in terms of cost, what’s included, and how to finance your procedure.
How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost in Miami?
In 2026, tummy tuck pricing in Miami typically falls within these ranges:
- Mini tummy tuck: $5,000–$8,000
- Full tummy tuck: $7,000–$12,000
- Extended tummy tuck: $9,000–$14,000
- Tummy tuck with lipo 360: $10,000–$16,000
These ranges include surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility fees. With Dr. De Jesus, luxury clinic recovery is also included at no additional cost.
Mini Tummy Tuck vs. Full Tummy Tuck: Which Do You Need?
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck targets only the area below the belly button. It involves a shorter incision, less skin removal, and typically no muscle repair. Best for patients with a small amount of loose skin in the lower abdomen who are already close to their ideal weight.
Recovery time: 1–2 weeks before returning to desk work; 4–6 weeks before exercise.
Full Tummy Tuck
A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdomen — above and below the belly button. It includes muscle repair (plication) for diastasis recti, significant skin removal, and belly button repositioning. This is the right choice for most post-pregnancy or significant weight loss patients.
Recovery time: 2–3 weeks before desk work; 6–8 weeks before exercise.
Extended Tummy Tuck
An extended tummy tuck wraps the incision further around the flanks (love handles) for patients who need circumferential body contouring. Often combined with liposuction for dramatic results.
Why Surgeons Combine Tummy Tuck with Lipo 360
One of the most popular combinations at Dr. De Jesus’s practice is tummy tuck + lipo 360. While a tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens muscles, liposuction sculpts the flanks, back, and waist to create a proportional, contoured silhouette.
Performing both procedures in one session means:
- One anesthesia session instead of two (saves $1,500–$2,500)
- One recovery period instead of two (saves weeks of downtime)
- Better overall results — the surgeon can sculpt the entire torso as a unit

Key recovery milestones:
- Days 1–3: Clinic recovery with medical monitoring, IV therapy, and lymphatic massage
- Week 1: Rest at home/hotel, limited walking, pain managed with medication
- Week 2–3: Most patients return to desk work, light daily activities
- Week 4–6: Gradual return to exercise, driving, and normal routine
- Month 3–6: Final results become visible as swelling fully resolves
Can You Get a Tummy Tuck After a C-Section?
Yes — and it’s extremely common. A tummy tuck can be performed along the same incision line as a C-section scar, effectively improving or replacing the scar. Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after your last C-section and reaching a stable weight before scheduling your tummy tuck.
If you’re done having children, a tummy tuck can repair the diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) that occurs during pregnancy and doesn’t resolve with exercise alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tummy tuck last?
Tummy tuck results are considered permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight. The removed skin and fat don’t grow back, and the tightened muscles stay in place. However, significant weight gain or future pregnancies can affect your results.
Will I have a visible scar?
Yes, but the scar is placed low — along the bikini line — and fades significantly over 12–18 months. Dr. De Jesus uses precise closure techniques to minimize scarring, and scar treatment protocols are provided during follow-up.
Is a tummy tuck painful?
The first 3–5 days involve moderate discomfort, primarily from muscle tightening. Pain is well-managed with prescribed medication, and the clinic recovery environment ensures you’re comfortable with medical staff available around the clock.
Can I fly home after a tummy tuck?
Most out-of-state patients fly home 7–10 days after surgery. Dr. De Jesus will clear you for travel based on your healing progress. The included clinic recovery means you’re medically monitored during the most critical early days.
