Plastic Surgery Guide > Plastic Surgeons > Boston > Boston Tummy Tuck
Many Boston tummy tuck surgery patients are women seeking to flatten the stomach and tighten the abdominal muscles after child bearing. This aesthetic plastic surgery procedure, technically known as abdominoplasty, is a serious medical and surgical procedure that should be performed by surgeons with extensive skill and training. Some patients think that tummy tuck is a type of weight loss surgery (also known as bariatric surgery). This is not the case, though tummy tuck can be performed after a procedure such as lap band surgery or gastric bypass in order to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the muscles, but it is not used to reduce weight. Another common procedure performed after massive weight loss is called a body lift. Patients seeking a tummy tuck in Boston also often look to other types of less invasive cosmetic procedures in order to rejuvenate the skin and to look younger. These procedures include BOTOX, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing and other types of anti-aging skin care.
Tummy tuck is a serious surgical procedure that should be performed only by a highly skilled board certified plastic surgeon. Since abdominoplasty does require some recovery time, often plastic surgery patients travel to Boston for surgery and then stay in the Boston area during the recovery period to enjoy its fine food and culture. One of the most interesting areas close to Boston is Cambridge, which is immediately across the Charles River from downtown Boston. Cambridge is home to some of the top universities in the world, including Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The Boston area itself is known as the Athens of America as it has more than 100 colleges and universities located in the area. Many of these institutions are nationally and internationally recognized for excellence in academic achievement and in research. The entertainment venues in Boston are also numerous, with an active theater district and several professional sports teams. If visiting Boston in the summer months, a trip to a Boston Red Sox game is a delightful experience. During the fall, winter and spring time period, the New England Patriots Football and Boston Celtics basketball teams provide excellent fun for the whole family.
Boston Tummy Tuck patients often request a combination of procedures. One popular combination is called "Mommy Makeover," where the surgeon performs tummy tuck, liposuction and breast augmentation. Use other surgeon directories in the Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery to find a Boston breast augmentation surgery or a Boston plastic surgery specialist. Many of these surgeons have also treated numerous Boston liposuction patients.
