A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tighten the underlying muscles. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, leading to loose and sagging abdominal skin. During the surgery, a horizontal incision is made across the lower abdomen, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat. The abdominal muscles are then tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a flatter and more toned appearance. The procedure can also address stretch marks and improve the overall contour of the abdomen. Recovery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, with a gradual return to normal activities over several weeks. A tummy tuck can provide substantial improvement in abdominal appearance and boost self-confidence. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential for achieving the best results and ensuring a safe procedure.
