Abdominoplasty or "Tummy Tuck" is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower abdomen, and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
A mini-abdominoplasty resulting in a smaller incision and scar may be recommended for women who’s excess skin and muscle laxity are present mainly in the lower abdomen.
