Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck (also clinically known as an abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen and to strengthen the abdominal muscles so that it can improve the shape of the body profile. Abdominoplasty surgery can also remove and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and unwanted scars on the abdominal area.
Many people want an abdominoplasty procedure as it is a surgical procedure actually used to remove the skin folds left over after losing a lot of weight and to stretch the skin and muscles after pregnancy.
The results of a tummy tuck can be permanent if weight is maintained after surgery.
