Abdominoplasty, more commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure where excess skin and fat is removed from the lower and middle abdomen and the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened.
The best candidates for abdominoplasty have loose abdominal skin that has not responded to traditional weight loss methods. Women who have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin naturally through pregnancy and individuals who have experienced massive weight loss also make great candidates for the tummy tuck procedure.
