A comprehensive approach that addresses skin, fat, and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) across the full midsection. Often recommended after pregnancy or significant weight changes.
Combines a full tummy tuck with liposuction to sculpt the waist and flanks, delivering enhanced definition and smoother transitions.

Dr. Kimberly Carpin is a board-certified female plastic surgeon who understands how pregnancy, weight loss, and aging affect your body. She’s known for her artistic eye, natural-looking results, and compassionate care. Dr. Carpin trained in a highly competitive six-year plastic surgery program at The University of Texas Medical Branch.

Tummy tuck recovery usually requires 1 to 2 weeks of downtime before you can resume work and other light, nonstrenuous activities. You should refrain from heavy lifting and vigorous activities for 6 to 8 weeks. Wearing a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks decreases swelling and supports healing.
The cost of a tummy tuck in and around Houston varies based on the extent of the procedure and your customized treatment plan. During your personalized consultation, we'll give you a detailed price estimate that reflects your specific plan.
Tummy tuck scars are typically low on the abdomen, running from hip to hip, and can be easily concealed by underwear or swimwear. In the first few months, scars may appear pink, brown, or slightly darker than your natural skin tone, depending on your complexion.
They often flatten and fade over time, though the final color can vary for lighter and darker skin. Dr. Carpin places incisions discreetly and recommends medical-grade products and treatments to help minimize and improve their appearance.
Your tummy tuck results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While the natural aging process continues, the skin and muscle improvements made during surgery are considered permanent.
