Dr Mele is a companionate and gifted surgeon with the best bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever had. I always feel extremely welcome and never rushed with my office visits and have even my slightest concerns addressed as if I was his only patient. My physical results exceeded my expectations!!!

★★★★★ — Heather, Jun 2018

Dr. Mele is the first plastic surgeon I've been to and I couldn't ask for a better experience. From consultation, to planning, to the surgery and even in post recovery, rest assured that he will be there every step of the way. I am a male and had gynecomastia.

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.
