Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Conveniently located to serve Boston, Cambridge, Peabody, and Manchester
Have you been thinking about getting a tummy tuck? We all want a flat, well-toned abdomen. Unfortunately many of us are unable to achieve it through diet and exercise alone. Fortunately, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Anoush Hadaegh of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore, can help you reach your body goals.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and can tighten the abdominal muscles if necessary. Tummy tuck gives a smoother and significantly contoured abdominal profile and can help patients achieve their aesthetic goals.
Tummy tuck is a popular procedure when patients are seeking a “mommy makeover”, and nearly anyone with a sagging belly, or stubborn problem area in the abdomen, can benefit greatly both physically and emotionally from a tummy tuck.

Mini Tummy Tuck
If you have lost weight but can’t seem to get rid of that pooch on your lower belly, then you might only need a mini tummy tuck. This variation on the traditional abdominoplasty is less invasive than a full tummy tuck surgery and only removes the extra tissue below the belly button.
A mini tummy tuck, also called a partial abdominoplasty, involves creating a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck. This incision is located between the pubic hairline and the belly button. Because the incision is smaller and less tissue is removed, mini tummy tuck recovery is typically shorter.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery
Restore your shapely figure by undergoing a tummy tuck surgery. It removes extra fat and skin while tightening abdominal muscles to restore a better figure. However, it is only recommended for non-smokers and patients who are in good physical health. If you have extra stubborn fat around your waist, then the tummy tuck surgery can address that.
Getting the Most Out of Your Tummy Tuck
Some women choose to have other procedures in combination with their tummy tuck. Common procedures to combine with a tummy tuck include liposuction, breast augmentation, and breast lift. Combination procedures, when performed, take full advantage of the recovery period and provide a more comprehensive makeover.
Cost of Tummy Tuck Surgery
The total cost of tummy tuck surgery varies on a patient-to-patient basis. Contact Dr. Hadaegh’s clinic for a consultation to learn the price of your abdominoplasty procedure.

– Written onJanuary 31, 2019 Dr. Hadaegh is fantastic! I lost about 90 pounds, and had a lot of hanging skin on my stomach and breasts. I got an abdominoplasty as well as a breast lift with implants, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a very talented and extremely kind plastic surgeon, Dr. Hadaegh is the person to go to! The entire staff at Aestetic Plastic Surgery are awesome!
