Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is a procedure that flattens your abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. This surgery is also known as Tommy Tuck. This method should not be used as a substitute for weight loss.

A tummy tuck should not be confused with liposuction (a surgical procedure used to remove fat deposits). Although your surgeon may choose to perform liposuction as part of a tummy tuck. Women who have stretched muscles and skin due to multiple pregnancies may find this method useful for tightening muscles and skin. Tummy tuck is also an alternative procedure for men and women who have been obese at some point in their lives and have lost significant weight, but still have fat deposits or loose skin in the abdominal area. ??? This surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis.
