What is the difference between a tummy tuck and an abdominoplasty?
There is no difference. Abdominoplasty is the medical term used to describe a tummy tuck and is the surgical process of removing excessive fat and skin from a patient’s lower and middle abdomen. A tummy tuck is also used to tighten the abdominal wall muscles. This body contouring procedure is an excellent way to rid oneself of stubborn fat in the mid section that does not respond to diet and exercise.
