Concerned with stubborn areas of fat and excess skin on your lower abdomen? If you’ve recently lost a significant amount of weight or are seeing the effects of aging, your skin elasticity and abdominal muscle structure may not be what they once were. To help tighten these areas and remove excess skin and fat, our plastic surgeons often recommend tummy tuck surgery for men from Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas.
Losing a large amount of weight is a big accomplishment that should be celebrated. Unfortunately, many men are left with hanging skin and stubborn fat bulges on the stomach that diet and exercise just won’t touch. A tummy tuck—also called abdominoplasty—can help you enjoy your hard-earned results by removing excess skin and fat, tightening your underlying abdominal muscles, and tightening the remaining skin. This creates smoother, tighter contours that highlight your abdominal muscles.
How Much Does a Male Tummy Tuck Cost in the Washington, DC, Metro Area?
The cost for a male tummy tuck starts at $13,000, depending on the amount of correction needed. We provide a specific price quote after your consultation with one of our providers. Qualified patients can take advantage of our patient financing options.
Before & After Photos
This patient underwent a circumferential body lift after massive weight loss.
Our surgeons perform tummy tuck surgery with patients under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical suite or at Sibley Memorial Hospital. Depending on your individual needs and the specifics of your procedure, you may be required to stay overnight for your initial recovery. Your surgeon will begin by making a horizontal incision low on your abdomen, just above your pubic area in a natural skin fold to ensure resulting scars are as inconspicuous as possible.
Through this incision, your surgeon will separate the excess skin from the muscles of your abdominal wall. This will allow him to examine and evaluate your underlying muscle structure and repair any weakness or laxity that may be present. Once the muscles have been repaired, excess abdominal skin will be removed and remaining skin will be tightened.
If necessary, your surgeon will then perform liposuction to remove any deposits of stubborn fat in the area to ensure a flat, even outcome. Once the desired results have been achieved, your incision will be sutured and dressed, and you will be placed in a special compression garment to promote healing and protect your results.

It’s been 3 months since my tummy tuck surgery and I feel great! Dr. Rao did a TT with muscle repair and fixed my umbilical hernia and diastis recti. The surgery went very smoothly and my recovery has been pretty textbook. Dr. Rao did everything exactly as explained and I’m healing very well with no complications at all. I highly recommend Dr. Rao!

Dr Rao is amazing! He has helped me through my breast reconstruction after having my double mastectomy! He did a tummy tuck for me as well and it looks amazing! Other doctors have commented to me about how great his work is and how straight his lines are! You will absolutely love him! Cannot recommend him enough! He is phenomenal!

Dr. Kanuri has exceptional surgical skills and was attentive both before and after the procedure. He is super professional, great attitude, speaks gently, and addressing every concern during my whole tummy tuck experience. Thank you so much, Dr. Kanuri! I'm so grateful and I feel so lucky to have had you as my doctor. Highly recommended! 👍

Dr. Albino is truly a master of his craft and considered the top plastic surgeon in the DC area for good reason! I could not be happier with my results and experience. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Albino including facelift, blepharoplasty, laser skin resurfacing, breast lift, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. These were performed in different surgeries over the past 5 years but each time I have been thrilled with my results. The Center for Plastic Surgery is the all-around best practice with amazing staff. From the very first consultation, I felt confident with their expertise, attention to detail and genuine care. Whether I went in for skincare, injections, consultations for surgery, the entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, caring and true professionals. Everyone was so helpful, everything was always explained so well, lots of options available and always offered a clear understanding and expectation of desired results. I can't say enough good things about the Doctors and complete staff!

I had the best experience with Dr. Fleury and his team. I was seeking a second opinion for a panniculectomy and I am so happy I found Dr. Fleury.
The team is very welcoming and kind. Made my scheduling experience a breeze. Erin was very helpful with coordinating my surgery and communicating any and all changes and what to expect.
Dr. Fleury was very informative, discussed all options, listened and answered all my questions and most importantly made me feel comfortable. Even on surgery day I was not worried at all I knew I was in GREAT hands. Even his personal call to check on me after surgery made me feel important.
I am so happy with my results. I would highly recommend Dr. Fleury to anyone looking for an honest, caring surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients.
MMelissa Woodson
Had THE BEST experience with Dr Christopher Fleury and his team. I was seeking a second opinion (had surgery scheduled and canceled because the Dr made me feel so uncomfortable and the vibes were off) I am so happy I followed my gut . Everyone here at CPS has been so friendly and helpful. Erin was awesome and made my scheduling so easy and was very informative. I had a panniculectomy in November and I love my results! Would HIGHLY recommend !!!! Dr Fleury was kind, patient, answered all my questions made me feel comfortable, even called to check on me afterwards. My results are just amazing. I am so thankful! Go see Dr Fleury!!!

I was apprehensive about having abdominoplasty, but after losing 70+ pounds the loose skin was impacting my ability to run long distances. Dr. Rao was very reassuring about the procedure and I'm so glad I wholeheartedly trusted him! Dr. Rao is very personable with great bedside manner. He educated me as a patient and set realistic expectations. I am truly blown away by my results. Recovery was practically pain free with no complications. My incision scar is low and razor thin, almost non-existent because of Dr. Rao's artistic eye and careful placement. Most importantly, I was back to running right at 6 weeks post-op, just in time for fall marathon training. Thank you to Dr. Rao and the entire CPS team for a great experience and phenomenal results!

Dr. Kanuri and his team took excellent care of me before, during and after my tummy tuck. They were kind and reassuring throughout the process, and very responsive when I had additional questions or concerns. I’m three months post op and am thrilled so far with my results. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Kanuri in particular!

I swear Dr. Rao is the best! I have no regrets going with him twice on my breast implants and a mini tummy tuck to remove excess skin. He is caring, attentive, and understanding.
LLisa English
Learn from my mistakes and do NOT go anywhere else! Dr. Kanuri rescued me from a bad tummy tuck, done 15 mos earlier by a well known northern Va surgeon. That procedure left me bigger than before the surgery and did not address loose skin from 2 pregnancies (i'm 47). The surgeon said he'd "fix" it, but both his opinion and a 2nd one came with dire warnings about my belly button dying in a 2nd procedure and an overall disappointing outlook. When i saw Dr. Kanuri, everything changed! He was gracious, kind, and confident in his plan to get me great results AND save my belly button or make me a new one that i'd be happy with.
Five months later, i look like a bikini model! and i feel strong as ever with solid abs, a great figure, and my original belly button. Dr. Kanuri did a marvelous job with the surgery, matched by his compassion during the physical and emotional challenges of a 2nd tummy tuck/revision surgery. He was with me every step of the way, easily reachable by phone, text, and email. Sherrie and all Dr. Kanuri's staff are a pleasure to work with.
So much peace of mind returns when your self image matches what is facing you in the mirror! Becoming a talented surgeon must be a long road. Whatever Dr Kanuri & his family went through to get there, i'm thankful for it. His care has been a true gift in my life. Thank you, Dr. Kanuri! I'll be back for future nips & tucks.

I am thrilled to share my heartfelt review of the exceptional plastic surgeon, Dr. Arjun P. Kanuri, who guided me through a life-changing Mommy Makeover journey from two years ago, that included abdominoplasty and breast reduction procedures. Dr. Arjun P. Kanuri's unmatched passion, unwavering expertise, and unparalleled commitment to patient care have truly transformed not only my physical appearance but also my confidence and overall well-being. From my initial consultation, it was evident that Dr. Kanuri possessed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by mothers seeking to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. Their empathetic and compassionate approach immediately put me at ease, allowing me to openly share my concerns and goals without judgment. Dr. Kanuri listened attentively and tailored a customized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs, ensuring that my Mommy Makeover would be a truly transformative experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kanuri to any mother considering a Mommy Makeover procedure. His unmatched passion, unwavering expertise, and commitment to patient satisfaction have resulted in a truly transformative experience for me. Dr. Kanuri has not only restored my body but has also reignited my self-confidence and empowered me to embrace the beauty of motherhood.
Thank you, Dr. Kanuri for your remarkable skill, compassionate care, and unwavering dedication to helping women achieve their dreams.

The best plastic surgeon in the DMV. The attention and care he gives his patients is world-class. He is very attentive to what his patient wants and is looking to accomplish. Dr. Kanuri did my mommy makeover (breast augmentation w/lift, tummy tuck w/ ab reconstruction, and lipo 360). In my mid-40s and I finally have the body of my dreams! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance - improve - revise!

Dr. Kanuri has exceeded and continues to exceed all of my expectations. What started as a hernia repair consult with a general surgeon, led me to meet Dr. Kanuri and the CPS staff as I explored an opportunity to repair my diastis recti and have a tummy tuck...which had been in my plans but probably years down the road. CPS being 1 of 2 places I called to make a consultation appointment, it ended up being the only one I made because the level of customer service was top notch from that very first call and every follow up that continued from there.
While I have always been someone who likes to get multiple quotes for everything, I was worried that I was pressed for time because of my hernia and that added a little bit of stress initially, until I had my first appointment with Dr. Kanuri. He very attentively listened to me and addressed all of my (and my husband's) questions and concerns, he explained the process so I would know what to expect from him, his team and the road to recovery that would be ahead of me.
I felt confident in my decision to move forward with Dr. Kanuri. There was never any point I had any doubts or concerns because he and his team were there anytime I had questions. Kaitlyn made herself available to have a call with me to go over the instructions for my meds, even though it was all in the packet, I appreciated her patience through it as I needed to hear it one more time and also have my husband on the call so he could ask any questions since he would be caring for me post surgery.
Lucky for me, Dr. Kanuri was going to be able to do the hernia repair as well, which made for a more seamless procedure. From the moment he arrived at the surgical center, he came to check on me and see how I was doing as I was getting prepped for surgery. After my procedure he texted my husband to check in on me and would be quick to respond when my husband texted him with questions or pictures. Dr. Kanuri and his team maintain the same level of care through each post-op appointment.
I am beyond thrilled with my results at only 5 weeks post op and the fact that it will continue to get better as my body continues healing is just amazing. Thank you Dr. Kanuri!
DDenisse Kent
Dr Rao and his entire staff were so polite and professional right from the start! Any questions I had, even after the procedure were always answered quickly and thoroughly. From a surgical standpoint, the day of went off so smoothly, everyone was very professional and caring. I am beyond pleased with my results so far(at present I am 5 weeks post abdominoplasty with liposuction) and I cannot wait to see the final product as I continue to heal. The incision was so precise and healed beautifully and I have had minimal swelling! The office sends you home with a ton of information regarding getting ready for and recovering after procedure. I felt very prepared and not nervous at all when surgery day came along!
RRachel Lawrence
Note to Dr. Kanuri! - I am so thrilled you said “YES” to your heart’s calling to be a Plastic Surgeon!! Your “YES” not only birthed and honed your artistic talents and skills, your “YES” birthed your total dedication to duty and to your patients – and I am a precious recipient of your professionalism!! Dr. Kanuri, when you said “YES” to your plastic surgery specialty you also said “YES” to positively impacting and changing lives – and there lies your blessings!! Thank You for leaving your footprints in the sands.
ITS 1 YEAR POST SURGERY and I’m breaking my silence!! 1 Year is an important Milestone in my healing and post-surgery recovery! Why is 1 year important? Because Dr. Kanuri said so 😊! He will not offer false promises to anyone!
Of course, I could have easily written a very favorable review on Dr. Kanuri’s behalf at any time over the last 12 months; especially since I was immediately impressed and very happy with my post-surgery Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) results. However, throughout my year of healing, I noticed my enthusiasm peaked when my body looked great; but when there were small but fixable setbacks in my results, I became distraught and down. This phenomenon would usually set off a barrage of questions to Dr. Kanuri, and although he would gently and patiently do his best to answer every single question; he would always remind me that it would take a year or more of healing and drainage to see my best results. So being the reasonable person I am, I eagerly followed doctor's instructions and allowed him to guide the process, while I willingly became proactive in my own care (doing such things as diligently wearing Fajas, and drinking lots and lots of water/fluids, following up with appointments, etc.). 1 year flew by quickly because I was so involved and engaged in my own care. So dear reader, here I am – the proof is in the pudding!!
I heard of Dr. Kanuri’s fame from word of mouth – a prior client who loved the outcome of his work and which brought her tons of joy and a newness of life. Although I had many Plastic Surgery consultations scheduled prior to meeting Dr. Kanuri, as luck would have it, I was able to get in sooner/earlier to meet with Dr. Kanuri and I took it AND kept the appointment, and the rest is history. Kudos to CPS Staff: I love Center for Plastic Surgery – CPS - (my home office was located in Annandale, Virginia). The front desk staff is courteous, helpful and quite friendly, while the clinical staff is all the above and skilled in delivering pre and postoperative care. Please allow me to give a big shout out to Dr. Kanuri’s Patient Care Coordinator – Sherrie, who is skilled in what she does, she knows and recognizes your worth and value and will advocate for your wellbeing if and when she has to.
My Recommendation To Reader: MAKE THE PHONE CALL AND COMMIT TO THAT INITIAL APPOINTMENT WITH DR. KANURI. Ask yourself this - “What’s the worse or best that can happen as a result of having a consult with Dr. Kanuri?” Either way you would be well informed about your future possibilities.
Once Dr. Kanuri said “YES” to re-creating my tummy, I ALSO gave myself permission to re-create a new ME. It took teamwork to move me and my life into a new and thriving space. Dr. Kanuri and his team took charge of re-creating my body, while me and my Mental Health Therapist worked on re-creating my mind (mental/emotional) and lastly, supportive friends/family/spiritual leaders helped restored and recreated my spirit – resulting in a more balanced and well-lived life.
Today my hopes, and expectations for my future are within my grasps and are meeting my needs. I am so happy with my body!! I am doing everything within my control to ensure the very best and continued outcomes.
Dear Readers, I present to you the new CONFIDENT me! (See photos).
1. My first time ever wearing bikinis IN A PUBLIC SPACE – 1. At an indoor water resort.
2. I made a conscious choice to wear a bikini undergarment as part of my carnival costume - 2023! Refreshing!
I’m grateful for you 🙏🙏💜Dr. Kanuri - You are the best!!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Albino and his exceptional staff. I spent a long time researching different surgeons in the Northern VA area. I am so happy I went with Dr. Albino. From my initial consult, pre-surgery appointment, day of surgery and post op appointments, I felt I was in good hands. Dr. Albino explains everything in detail, is reassuring, confident, and has a great sense of humor. I found the detailed post surgery care packet CPS provides to be extremely helpful. I also appreciated Dr. Albino reaching out the morning after my surgery to check on me. I had an extended abdominoplasty and lipo. After two c-sections years ago and recently losing a significant amount of weight, I had excess skin. I am now about eight weeks out and I could not be happier with the results - even better than I thought possible. Dr. Albino is at the top of his game and I highly recommend him!
TTerrie
There aren’t enough words to describe Dr. Albino that would ever do him justice. If I could give him a million stars it still wouldn’t be enough!
I’ve been searching for a surgeon that I felt comfortable with for many years to do my reduction and tummy tuck. He was definitely the surgeon I had been searching for. He was incredibly kind, compassionate, and made me feel extremely comfortable during every single step of the process. His calmness and patience while explaining everything in detail made me feel like I was the most important patient in the world and the only one that mattered. Every time I see him I know I have his full and undivided attention. Never once during the entire process did I feel rushed or pressured. He took such a stressful and scary experience and made me feel so comfortable and confident in my decision. I knew that I was in the best hands in the world. Dr. Albino is simply the very best and is absolute perfection in human form. From technique to bed side manner, I don’t know how he manages to do it. He took the time to personally call me after surgery to check in and continued to make me feel well cared for and heard during the entire process, through recovery and beyond.
My results more than exceeded my expectations and were beyond anything that I was prepare for. I was hoping for a great outcome, he gave me an amazing one. I am so grateful for Dr. Albino, his brilliant mind and his magic hands.
The nurses at the practice are unmatched. They are all extremely caring, listened to every concern I had and made me feel so comfortable during the entire process, from consultation to surgery and beyond.
Dr. Albino’s surgical coordinator Shiloh is absolutely wonderful! She greets every patient with a smile and the most positive attitude! She works so hard to ensure that each procedure is scheduled conveniently and effortlessly and makes magic happen on the calendar. She really took her time dealing with every single one of my questions and worked really hard to make my surgery day a success.
The care I received from Dr. Albino and his staff exceeded my highest expectations. Every step of the way I felt heard, understood, and most importantly well cared for. He is the only human I would ever trust to put me to sleep and cut me open. I trust him completely, fully and blindly.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Albino, the nurses and the staff at CPS.

Doctor Kanuri is the best, he did my tummy tuck surgery, he is so caring about his patients, and he keep checking the patient situation after surgery and above everything I am so satisfied with the result, he and his staff are the best, all nurses and staff in the office are so polite and helpful, I recommend this place and doctor Kanuri and his staff 100%.
MMahtab Jamalinejad
Thank you to Dr Kanuri and the team at CPS for the personalized and individualized care received during my procedure. I chose Dr Kanuri after I had received consultation from 3 different Drs.. From initial meeting Dr Kanuri was attentive and listened to my wants for a tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr Kanuri made me very comfortable by going over expectations and what to expect after, he was very professional and caring. I was very impressed on the second day post -Op when i saw my body in the mirror. Dr Kanuri and his team called and texted me several times daily to check on me upon getting home after the procedure and for the first three days post-op. Best money spent for me ,as a Nurse Practitioner I will recommend Dr Kanuri to anyone looking to do the same procedure.

I had a tummy tuck with liposculpture 11 days ago with Dr. Arjun Kanuri. I am very happy with the results and excited to see the doctor's excellent work in the future. God put me in the best hands; he is a wonderful human being. The staff at the clinic were very kind and wonderful people. I could give it more than 5 stars 🌟 and I would recommend it 100%. Thank you, Dr. Kanuri.

I am absolutely thrilled with my results! Dr Rao really knows how to contour a woman’s body. My lipo and tummy tuck look so good and I know as the months go on it will only get better! The staff is wonderful & Dr. Rao is very friendly and really spends time talking with you and listening to your concerns. He gave me so much input on how he was going to shape my figure. I couldn’t be happier! Just go for it & make your appointment with Dr. Rao, you won’t regret it!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of the Covid outbreak. It was a scary and emotional time. Dr. Rao was kind and patient as we discussed my pending reconstructive surgery. He and his staff went over different options based on my unique circumstances. Dr. Rao answered all my questions. He was very detailed about what to expect during and after my procedure.
I subsequently had Dr. Rao perform a tummy tuck. I feel so thankful he was my surgeon. I have highly recommended Dr. Rao to others!

I saw Dr. Rao in September 2020 for a consultation for possible abdominoplasty and breast lift. He listened to me on what I wanted to have done and then he made some suggestions of what he thought would give me the best results. I was planning to have 2 more consultations but after my visit with him I felt at ease. He is so easy to talk to. Dr. Rao appeared to be very confident and seemed to take pride in his work which sealed the deal for me. Not to mentioned he’s the best dressed surgeon I’ve seen and gotta love his sock game! 🥰 I had my surgery in February 2021 and I am so pleased with my results. My entire experience with Dr. Rao was excellent. Also, he has the best staff working along side him. So if you’re on the fence about having surgery and which surgeon to choose he’s your man! You won’t go wrong! My before and after pics are below. Pics on top I was 2 months out from surgery and pics on the bottom was a couple of days before surgery. Tracy

My experience with Dr. Kanuri has been nothing less than perfect. Currently, I’m 7 months post op from a tummy tuck & breast lift and my results are fabulous! Dr. Kanuri’s bedside manner is incomparable. He is kind, patient, pleasant and respectful. He was been so supportive and attentive throughout the entire process, which is so important when having these types of procedures. Dr. Kanuri is truly a great surgeon, my results are natural and I receive so many compliments! What can I say? His hands are magical. 5 star experience across the board! I highly recommended!

What Is Recovery Like After a Tummy Tuck?
To reduce the accumulation of fluid in the area, you will likely be sent home with drains. Within three to five days, you will return to the office for your follow-up appointment and to have your drains removed. The support garment should be worn for around three weeks, but can be taken off when you shower or bathe.
After your procedure, you will experience swelling and some discomfort in the area. Your surgeon may prescribe oral pain medication to help manage this discomfort, and you should be feeling comfortable enough to resume light activities within a week to ten days. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least two to three weeks, though we encourage you to walk as soon as possible after surgery to reduce swelling and fluid accumulation.
