Conveniently Located to Serve Atlanta
If you’ve been dreaming of achieving a slimmer and more contoured tummy, a tummy tuck might be right for you. Atlanta patients considering abdominoplasty surgery frequently choose Dr. Carmen Kavali and Dr. Teri N. Moak due to their incredibly natural body-contouring results.
A Personalized Tummy Tuck from Dr. Kavali and Dr. Moak
At Monarch Plastic Surgery and Skin Renewal Center, not far from coffee spots like Just Love Coffee Cafe, Bagel Boys Cafe, and Zambawango, our surgeons offer several personalized tummy tuck techniques.
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens drooping abdominal muscles. Drs. Kavali and Moak also include waist liposuction at no extra cost for improved abdominal contouring.
A tummy tuck may also be part of a mommy makeover, often paired with breast surgery or other procedures like liposuction, facial contouring, vaginal rejuvenation, or non-surgical med spa treatments—all in a single surgical session and recovery period.
Why Choose Dr. Kavali and Dr. Moak?
Dr. Carmen Kavali
Dr. Kavali is a board-certified plastic surgeon recognized as one of America’s Top Plastic Surgeons and a Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2017. She’s an expert in body-contouring, a frequent speaker, author, and media contributor. She earned her MD from Mercer University and completed a plastic surgery fellowship at Wayne State University.
Dr. Teri N. Moak
Dr. Moak is board-eligible and has written award-winning medical publications. She completed her MD at the University of Arkansas and trained at Washington University’s prestigious plastic surgery residency. She is fellowship-trained in aesthetic plastic surgery and is a member of multiple national societies.
Both surgeons operate at accredited facilities including Atlanta Outpatient Surgery Center and Northside Hospital, using board-certified anesthesiologists and RNs.
Ideal Tummy Tuck Candidates
Abdominoplasty is ideal for patients with excess abdominal skin and muscle laxity. Candidates may include:
- Those with abdominal-wall hernias
- Patients with C-section scars or stretch marks
- People who lost significant weight or gave birth
- Individuals with diastasis recti
Candidates should be in good health, non-smokers, and near their target weight. This is not a weight-loss procedure—it targets superficial fat, not visceral fat. Future weight gain or pregnancy can affect results.
Your Abdominoplasty Consultation
Consultations with Dr. Kavali or Dr. Moak include a detailed discussion of goals, physical exam, 3D imaging previews, and a full review of your medical history. Your custom surgical plan will be tailored to your body and expectations.
Preparing for Your Surgery
Patients should plan for time off work, arrange transportation and post-op help, and prepare a recovery space. Avoid alcohol, smoking, NSAIDs, and certain supplements before surgery as directed.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Surgery lasts 1–5 hours. General anesthesia is administered, and a low horizontal incision is made. Liposuction removes excess fat, abdominal muscles are tightened, and loose skin is excised. The navel may be repositioned, and all incisions are closed with care.
Tummy Tuck Recovery
Recovery begins in our recovery suite with close monitoring. Patients are sent home the same day in most cases. Pain pumps deliver anesthetic to minimize narcotic use. Drains and compression garments help manage swelling. Most patients return to normal activity within 6–8 weeks.
Follow all post-op instructions closely to ensure optimal healing and results. Swelling will subside over time, revealing final results within 6–12 months.
Tummy Tuck Cost in Atlanta
Pricing varies by case and includes surgical time, anesthesia, and complexity. Financing is available through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit to help make your tummy tuck more accessible.

Questions & Answers
Patients who have tattoos in the area between their belly button and pubic hairline should discuss them with their plastic surgeon during their consultation. Removing excess skin and tightening sagging skin can potentially affect the appearance of a tattoo, depending on factors like the exact size and placement of the tattoo. Dr. Kavali and Dr. Moak may potentially be able to adjust their surgical technique accordingly.
There is no single “right” age to get abdominoplasty surgery, and patients of many ages have undergone them successfully. Candidacy is evaluated based on the issues being experienced, along with the patient’s overall health condition, since this can affect the likelihood of post-surgical complications.
Patients will have no problem having children after their abdominoplasty procedure. Still, it’s best to have children before tummy tuck surgery, since pregnancy and childbirth can potentially affect the procedure’s results.
