Abdominoplasty, or “Tummy Tuck” is a procedure, which treats very loose skin and muscles of the abdomen, mostly after major weight gain or a large weight loss. Excess skin and fat in the abdominal area can represent a great aesthetic and psychological burden, but can also lead to significant health problems.
Abdominoplasty is a good method if diet and exercise cannot fix a serious muscle relaxation that occurs most often after several pregnancies. The goal of surgery is to reduce fat on the belly and to form an aesthetically acceptable appearance – a flatter and tighter abdominal wall.
