Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area. It also involves tightening the underlying muscles to create a flatter and firmer abdomen. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy, which can lead to loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles. The surgery typically involves an incision made across the lower abdomen, allowing the surgeon to access and reshape the area. Recovery time varies, but patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Results can lead to improved body contour and increased self-confidence.
