Tummy Tuck Surgery

What is Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck?

Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and to enhance physical beauty by tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure can be combined with Bilateral Breast Augmentation, Liposuction & Facelift. Having loose skin on the abdomen can be a result of a few things, such as having lost a lot of weight, or after pregnancy, where the stretched skin and muscles have become slack. It's also an option for those who have scarring after having had abdominal surgery.
