The human body is resilient, but it has mechanical limits. For many residents in Peoria, Arizona, the midsection tells the story of life’s major physical events—whether that story involves pregnancy, significant weight loss, or the natural aging process. No amount of diet or exercise can correct a stretched connective tissue or remove inelastic skin that has lost its ability to snap back.
At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, we view the tummy tuck (clinically known as abdominoplasty) as a functional restoration of the abdominal wall. It is not merely about vanity or fitting into a smaller bathing suit; it is about repairing the structural integrity of your core.
Our practice is led by surgeons with a background in complex reconstructive surgery. We bring the precision of microsurgery—where every blood vessel counts—to aesthetic body contouring. This expertise is available directly at our Peoria office, serving patients from Vistancia to the P83 district who are seeking a dramatic improvement in their profile without the commute to Phoenix or Scottsdale.
A tummy tuck is the gold standard for achieving a flatter and well-toned abdomen. It is a comprehensive surgical intervention designed to address three distinct layers of the midsection:
While liposuction alone can remove fat, it cannot tighten loose skin or fix a protruding abdomen caused by muscle separation. Only a tummy tuck can mechanically reconstruct the abdominal wall to create a trim, firm silhouette.
We determine candidacy during a private consultation. The ideal candidate is healthy, non-smoking, and near a stable weight.
We will review your medical history in detail to ensure you are safe to undergo general anesthesia and surgery.

Tummy tuck procedures in Peoria are typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort. The surgery is typically performed in an accredited outpatient surgical center and lasts between 2 to 5 hours.
We place a horizontal incision low on the pubic mound, extending from hip to hip. While the scar is permanent, we position it strategically so it can be concealed by standard underwear or swimwear bottoms.
We lift the skin to access the underlying muscles. Using permanent sutures, we pull the separated muscles back together to tighten the abdominal wall and narrow the waistline.
We excise the redundant skin and fat from the lower abdomen. A full tummy tuck will remove most of the stretch marks between the pubic area and the belly button, leaving the remaining skin smooth and taut.
Because the skin is pulled down, we create a new opening for your belly button, ensuring it sits in a natural, youthful position on your new abdomen.




Recovery is a process, not an event. You are healing a major muscle repair, which means you must listen to your body.

Every surgery carries risk. Risks of tummy tucks include infection, bleeding, swelling, numbness, contour irregularities, and permanent scarring.
Our microsurgical background helps mitigate these risks. We handle tissues with extreme care to preserve blood supply, which is critical for preventing wound healing issues. We discuss these risks transparently during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
Many women in Peoria, Arizona, choose to combine their tummy tuck with other surgeries for a more comprehensive transformation.

We believe in financial transparency. Patients should expect costs for a tummy tuck in Peoria to range from $12,000 to $18,000.
This range reflects the complexity of the case (e.g., standard vs. extended tummy tuck).
Tummy tuck costs typically do not include additional expenses such as anesthesia, facility fees, and post-operative care.
Because abdominoplasty is considered cosmetic surgery, patients should expect to pay for a tummy tuck out of pocket, as it is usually not covered by insurance. We accept financing options like CareCredit to help make this investment in your health and confidence more manageable.
