A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess fat and skin from the abdominal area and tightening the underlying muscles to improve the appearance of the abdomen.

It’s important to note that tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure that carries certain risks and potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, and changes in skin sensation. Patients should carefully consider the risks and benefits of the procedure, and choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who can discuss the various options and help determine the best course of action based on their individual needs and goals. Additionally, tummy tuck is not a weight-loss solution or a substitute for healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet. It is typically used to address excess skin and muscle laxity that cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone.
