From the reviews

I had a tummy tuck done 6 months ago, I’m 100% satisfied and extremely happy with the results. Everything was smooth from the consultation to the surgery and the results are so much better than I imagined. Dr Racanelli did an amazing job. The Office and staff are very friendly and very helpful. Thank you!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jun 2020

Choosing Dr Racanelli to perform my breast augmentation and tummy tuck one year ago has been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. He was the third surgeon I met with and after the consultation I knew I would only have the procedures done if I could have him do them for me.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Jan 2023

Procedure: Skin removal (tummy tuck), custom muscle repair, waist contouring, fat transfer to hips, botox Time Since Procedure: 11 months op After having four 10-pound babies via C-sections, no amount of diet or exercise could reverse the changes my body had gone through during my pregnancies.

★★★★★ — Karla, Dec 2025

Dr. Rachanelli is the BEST plastic surgeon around. I have been a patient for 4 years and couldn’t be more happy with his work !!! He spends time during your consultation and appointment. In the past , I had work done with other plastic surgeons, and there is no comparison to Rachanelli’s work.

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.
