An abdominoplasty is a procedure that flattens ones’ abdomen by removing extra fat and skin and tightening muscles in ones’ abdominal wall. This procedure is also known as a tummy tuck.

It is a major surgery, so it is important to educate ones ‘self, thoroughly analyze ones’ own situation, and take ones’ time arriving at a final decision. A tummy tuck should be the last resort for people who have exhausted all other measures, and the procedure should not be used as an alternative to weight loss.
