Abdominoplasty, or Tummy tuck is the procedure of removing excess sagging skin from the abdomin improving the shape and tightness of the skin, reducing the buldge and creating a firmer, flatter, more shapely abdominal area.
Often this procedure is performed on patients who have lost a significant about of weight or a post-pregnancy buldge.
