Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck, is a major surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat and tightens abdominal wall muscles for a flatter-looking tummy. This is ideal for those who are in relatively good shape, but are bothered by remaining fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that won’t respond to diet or exercise.

A full tummy tuck requires a horizontal incision from between the belly button and the pubic hairline, with the length and shape dependent on the amount of excess skin. Once the abdominal skin is lifted, the underlying abdominal muscles are repaired.
