Ethan BrownAfter losing weight with help from some brilliant local dietitians, I felt healthier, stronger, and very proud of myself. My stomach, however, hadn’t quite received the memo.
Finding the best tummy tuck in Ottawa became my next mission, especially since workouts can’t always tighten stretched muscles or remove loose skin. Pregnancy, weight loss, and ageing can all leave behind a little extra baggage.
I looked into Ottawa surgeons offering everything from mini tummy tucks to full abdominal contouring. This guide highlights the strongest options, so you can choose with confidence and skip the endless clinic-tab marathon.
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Ottawa?
A tummy tuck in Ottawa usually costs $9,000 to over $15,000. The final price depends on the procedure, surgical complexity, and facility fees.
A mini tummy tuck typically costs $9,000 to $10,500. A full tummy tuck usually ranges from $13,000 to $15,000+.
For an extended or complex tummy tuck, expect to pay around $17,000 to $23,000+.
1. Dr. Photis Loizides
Address: 1400 Wellington Street West, 1st Floor
Contact: (613) 505-0220
Hours: Consultations by appointment
Dr. Photis Loizides brings more than a decade of plastic surgery experience to his Ottawa practice. He’s Royal College-certified and has completed additional subspecialty training at USC, with experience at Cedars-Sinai.
His clinic offers both full and mini tummy tucks, which gives patients more room to match the procedure to their needs.
Selected mini tummy tucks may also be performed under local anesthesia, which could appeal to those hoping for a less involved setup.
He can also combine abdominoplasty with breast procedures when medically appropriate. That makes his practice worth considering for anyone planning a broader post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss refresh.
The main drawback is that consultations are strictly by appointment, so spontaneous visits aren’t really on the menu.

2. Ottawa Derm Centre
Address: 105 A – 460 West Hunt Club
Contact: [email protected] | Call 613.369.8369 | Fax 613.369.8354
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM
Ottawa Derm Centre promotes a patient-care philosophy it calls HealthPower, with an emphasis on how patients feel as well as how they look.
New patients begin with a consultation that includes a review of their concerns, medical history, and treatment goals.
The clinic offers surgical tummy tucks alongside non-surgical body-contouring options such as CoolSculpting. These treatments address different concerns, so patients should discuss whether loose skin, excess fat, or muscle separation is the main issue.
Consultations can be requested online, and the website includes a gallery with examples from previous procedures.
However, the Ottawa West branch operates on weekdays only, although tummy tuck consultation locations should be confirmed directly because the clinic has recently expanded.

Long-Term Care With a Personal Touch
I have been seeing Cheryl (nurse) at Ottawa Derm Center for several years now and cannot say enough good things about her and her bedside manner. I actually look forward to our yearly appointments – she makes me comfortable, at ease, and like we’re old friends. The services are easy to book, and Heather is SO knowledgeable about what she’s doing, running the office. The facilities are clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this business!

3. Dr. Ronnie Borsuk
Address: Unit 306, 770 Broadview Avenue
Contact: Tel 613-728-5807 | Fax 613-728-3942 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 AM – 4 PM
Dr. Ronnie Borsuk has been practising plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery in Ottawa since 2011. He’s also a Royal College Fellow, so the credentials aren’t exactly hiding in the fine print.
He trained at McGill before completing extra cosmetic surgery training at the Westmount Institute of Plastic Surgery. That background gives him a solid mix of technical skill and aesthetic know-how.
What stood out to me was his conservative, collaborative approach. He considers your health, age, lifestyle, and goals instead of treating surgery like a one-size-fits-all wardrobe.
The clinic also offers liposuction, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and back lifts for broader body-contouring needs.
The catch is he has weekday office hours only, which may make consultations and follow-ups harder for patients with standard work schedules.

Transformative Tummy Tuck After Major Weight Loss
I lost 100 lbs with gastric bypass surgery in 2018. Dr. Borsuk is amazing. He performed a tummy tuck in 2019 on me as well as upper arm surgery and a back lift 4 days ago. He is kind, informative and excellent at his craft. The staff at the Winchester Hospital are like family, and all get to switch shifts to work with Dr. B. Thanks so much 🙏

Professional and Compassionate Surgical Care
Dr. Borsuk is an extraordinary physician. This was my second surgery under his care, and once again he was absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived, everything was handled with professionalism and compassion. The surgery was on time, and just one day later I’m already feeling great. Dr. Borsuk is clearly doing what he was called to do, and I am incredibly thankful for his skill, dedication, and care.

4. Ottawa Plastic Surgery
Address: 1750 Bank St
Contact: (613) 792-4137
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8.30 AM – 4.30 PM
Ottawa Plastic Surgery has been around since 1999, so it’s hardly the new kid on Bank Street. Medical director Dr. Howard Silverman is Royal College-certified and has completed more than 8,000 cosmetic procedures.
Tummy tucks take place in the clinic’s private in-house surgical centre. The team commonly uses a drainless technique, though drains may still make a rare cameo when medically necessary.
I also like that aftercare isn’t treated as a quick wave goodbye. Most patients receive three to six follow-up visits, depending on how recovery unfolds.
The catch is the financial policy, which has very little wiggle room. The $1,500 booking deposit is non-refundable, and late cancellations can mean losing some or all of the remaining payment.

Natural-Looking Tummy Tuck Results
I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Frank six months ago, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. He and his team were incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough from the first consultation to every follow-up. My recovery was smooth, and the outcome is natural-looking, with a flatter, firmer abdomen and minimal scarring. I highly recommend Dr. Frank and his team to anyone considering cosmetic surgery—they truly exceeded my expectations.

Excellent Results From Combined Procedures
I was very apprehensive about getting my surgery; it involved a breast lift, a mini tummy tuck and liposuction all at once, especially the breast lift. My reasons were my age and the recovery of all three. I am over the moon with the results just after the six-week point. Dr Frank and the staff are exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Frank as he made me feel confident in my appearance now. My results are amazing; I wish I had done it sooner.

5. The Ottawa Clinic
Address: 2936 Baseline Road, Suite #102
Contact: Phone 613.686.4784 | Fax 613.232.0777
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 AM – 4 PM
The Ottawa Clinic brings plastic surgery, skincare, and medical dermatology together under one Baseline Road roof. That’s handy if your makeover plans involve more than one item on the checklist.
Its surgeons offer both mini and full tummy tucks, depending on how much correction you need. The incision sits low on the abdomen, so the scar can often stay tucked beneath clothing or swimwear.
They can also tighten separated abdominal muscles and add liposuction around the waist when appropriate.
Certain umbilical hernias may be addressed too, although that depends on your individual case.
The catch is the cancellation policy, which isn’t especially forgiving. Cancel within four weeks, and your payment becomes non-refundable, with only 80% available as rebooking credit.

Compassionate and Reassuring Clinic Care
The team at The Ottawa Clinic is absolutely amazing; they have been so compassionate about my issues and informative in their procedures. Nurse Lyne took wonderful care of me, making sure I had all the information, explaining the process throughout the appointment, ensuring I was comfortable, and listening to me about my quirky veins! She really made sure I felt at ease, and going forward I won’t be nervous about my next appointments knowing she takes such incredible care of her patients.
