What is a Tummy Tuck?
Skin, muscles and extra tissue along the abdomen can loosen after you have experienced significant weight loss and/or a pregnancy, or simply the natural aging process. A tummy tuck, technically known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area as well as tightens muscles that have become lax.
The surgery effectively reduces excess abdominal skin and fat, stretch marks, and muscle laxity. It can also help to strengthen weakened abdominal muscles and core flexibility.
