About Michael B. Tantillo
Dr. Michael B. Tantillo, MD, is a board-certified, Harvard-trained plastic surgeon and the founder of Clareo Plastic Surgery in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, with a second location in Fenway. He earned his MD from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (1989) and has over 35 years of experience in the medical field. The name Clareo comes from the Latin word meaning "to shine brightly," reflecting Dr. Tantillo's vision for the confidence his patients feel after treatment. He has consistently been rated a Top-10 plastic surgeon in Boston and has been recognized as a RealSelf Top Doctor and Patients' Choice awardee. He works alongside Dr. Christopher Lee, a Dartmouth-trained board-certified plastic surgeon. The practice offers Crisalix 3D simulation so patients can preview results before surgery. Patients describe him as attentive and say "he clearly took the time to familiarize himself with my particular case beforehand and really listened to me." One breast reconstruction patient said "it takes a very knowledgeable doctor to pull this off and that is what Dr. Tantillo is." He specializes in facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast lifts, breast reduction, breast revision, tummy tucks, liposuction, mommy makeovers, body contouring, CoolSculpting, Botox, dermal fillers, and non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
