People are sometimes left with empty, hanging folds of skin after pregnancy, serious weight loss, or with aging.
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to tighten loose and flabby skin. When this loose skin is surgically removed from the belly, it is called an abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, or body contouring. When the skin is removed around the whole waist to raise the buttock, lateral thighs, and trim the tummy, it is called body lifting. From the upper arms, we call it brachioplasty.

The Ideal Candidate for a Tummy Tuck
The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck has sagging skin and extra fat that they would like to get rid of. As with liposuction, tummy tuck surgery is not intended to correct obesity; patients should be at the normal or near-normal weight before surgery. Book your consultation with Dr. Tumi and he can let you know if you’re an ideal candidate.
At the Barrie Plastic Surgery Clinic, tummy tuck costs will vary significantly depending on the candidate and the amount of work needed.
Abdominoplasty | $9,900 + |
Plus liposuction of one area | $2,500 + |
Mini Abdominoplasty | $6,500 + |
Mini Abdominoplasty plus liposuction of one area | $1,500 – $2,500 |
However, this is just a guide. Each individual is unique and therefore each surgical plan is customized to the candidate. The fees will depend on the complexity of the case and the time estimated by Dr. Tumi. You will receive a definite quote once Dr. Tumi has seen you for an in-person consultation.
A $1,500 non-refundable deposit fee is required at your time of booking. The deposit reserves your surgery date and prevents double-booking. All surgical fees include:
- All pre-op and post-op care
- compression wear
- scar cream
The full surgical payment is due two weeks before your surgery. All prices are in Canadian dollars and are subject to HST.
