Tummy Tuck Surgery on Long Island
Restoring the strength and contour you remember—revealling what is hidden for you.
What Is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Surgery?
Surgical restoration for a tummy that fits.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, addresses excess skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and stubborn contours that don't respond to diet or exercise. Whether shaped by pregnancy, weight changes, or time, this procedure restores strength and definition to your midsection—bringing your body back into alignment with how you feel inside. At North Shore Cosmetic Surgery, abdominoplasty is performed with precision and restraint, honoring your natural proportions while creating a smoother, firmer silhouette.
This is not about perfection—it's about reclaiming confidence in a body that feels like home.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
The Confidence of Alignment
There's a version of you that moves through the world with ease—no longer held back by discomfort, self-consciousness, or the gap between how you feel and how you look. Abdominoplasty restores that alignment. It allows you to wear what you want without adjustment or hesitation. To stand taller, move freely, and feel present in your own skin.
This is confidence that doesn't announce itself—it simply exists, quietly and powerfully, in everything you do.
“Highly recommend Dr. Romanelli. Professional, caring and sincere. I love my results, I feel renewed. The entire office staff and nurses made me feel at ease and well cared for. I am very happy I chose Dr. Romanelli.”Verified Patient

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tummy tuck recovery take?
Most patients return to driving in 1 week, light activities within 2-3 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Swelling continues to improve over several months. We provide detailed recovery guidance to ensure you heal comfortably and safely.
Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
Stretch marks located on the removed skin (typically below the belly button) will be eliminated. Stretch marks on remaining tissue generally appear less noticeable as skin is tightened.
Can I have a tummy tuck after pregnancy?
Yes, but we recommend waiting until you're done having children and at a stable weight. Pregnancy after abdominoplasty can compromise your results (but is not unsafe for mother or child!).
How visible will my tummy tuck scars be?
The incision is placed low on the abdomen, typically hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months and continue improving with time. We provide scar care guidance to optimize healing.
