From the reviews

Dr Russell has been amazing throughout my entire journey. I needed a total explant surgery with capsule removal and lift. I was suffering in pain for many years without any relief. Dr Russell was able to convince insurance to help cover a portion of my surgery.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Feb 2026

Dr. Cindy Russell is one of the queens of my life. She performed a skin-only abdominoplasty (no lipo or muscle repair) on me after significant weight loss 20 years ago, and I couldn't be happier—the results are beautiful, and her care has been absolutely exceptional.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Oct 2025

Dr. Russell is amazing. I was referred to her after the initial doctor I saw cancelled my insurance, and I’m very fortunate for that. On my very first visit with Dr. Russell she took time to explain my surgery, the procedure itself, what can be done and how, plus recovery. Even had pictures to show me.

★★★★★ — K, Jan 2026

Dr. Cindy Russell is extremely thorough, highly knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. From the moment I met her, I could truly feel how much she cares about her patients.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
