How the Dallas market tends to price
Dallas is one of the largest and most competitive cosmetic surgery markets in the U.S. A deep base of board-certified plastic surgeons, lower facility overhead than coastal cities, and strong price competition keep costs near or just below the national midpoint — making it one of the better-value major metro markets for abdominoplasty.
- Mini tummy tuck benchmark: $7,350 – $9,350
- Full tummy tuck benchmark: $11,000 – $14,000
- Tummy tuck with liposuction: $14,700 – $18,750
Highland Park and North Dallas boutique practices tend to quote at the top of the range. Plano, Frisco, and suburban practices often offer comparable care at the midpoint or below.

Local quote drivers
