Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Providence, RI & Boston, MA

Flatten, Tighten, and Transform Your Midsection

If you struggle with loose skin, stubborn fat, or a protruding abdomen that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise, a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) at Skinsational can dramatically reshape your midsection. This transformative procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles — creating a flatter, firmer, and more sculpted stomach.

Dr. Luciano provides highly personalized tummy tuck procedures for both men and women, helping patients achieve the slim and toned contours they’ve always wanted.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a surgical body contouring procedure that:

  • Removes excess skin from the abdomen
  • Eliminates stubborn pockets of fat
  • Tightens stretched or weakened abdominal muscles
  • Creates a smooth, firm, and flatter abdominal profile

Whether due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, many individuals develop loose skin or weakened muscles that cannot be corrected with exercise alone. A tummy tuck addresses these concerns directly for long-lasting improvement.

Why Choose a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is ideal for anyone who:

  • Has loose or sagging abdominal skin
  • Suffers from stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Struggles with stubborn belly fat
  • Wants to restore midsection firmness after pregnancy
  • Desires a more youthful, contoured silhouette
  • Cannot achieve a flat abdomen through diet and exercise alone

By removing excess tissue and tightening the core, a tummy tuck not only improves appearance but often enhances posture and core strength.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a strong candidate for a tummy tuck if:

  • You are at or near your goal weight
  • You have loose abdominal skin or muscle separation
  • You are bothered by the appearance of a protruding belly
  • You maintain a healthy lifestyle
  • You do not plan future pregnancies
  • You have realistic expectations about recovery and outcome

During your consultation, Dr. Luciano will evaluate your goals, anatomy, and medical history to determine the best surgical approach for your needs.
