Tummy Tuck in Wellesley by Accurate Aesthetics Plastic Surgery
Expert Abdominoplasty at Accurate Aesthetics
For many patients, achieving a tight, toned midsection can be extremely difficult despite diet and exercise. At Accurate Aesthetics in Boston, Dr. Katherine Hein offers expert tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin and fat and tighten abdominal muscles for a flatter, more contoured appearance.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a "tummy tuck," is a surgical procedure that:
- Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen
- Tightens abdominal wall muscles
- Creates a thinner, flatter, tighter midsection
While the procedure leaves a scar, it can dramatically improve the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery
The best candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who:
- Are in relatively good shape but bothered by loose abdominal skin or fat deposits
- Have stretched abdominal muscles and skin due to pregnancy
- Have excess skin after significant weight loss
- Experience loss of skin elasticity, often due to aging

- Consultation to assess your needs and determine the best approach
