What is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)?
Abdominoplasty is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. Abdominoplasty surgical sculpting addresses much more than liposuction surgery which is only for localized fat collections. There however is a permanent scar that can extend from hip to hip and another one around the belly button (umbilicus).
