Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes extra skin from the abdomen. Extreme weight loss, such as weight loss following pregnancy, dieting, or stomach reductions, often results in wrinkled, dangling flaps of skin (fatty flaps). The development of a substantially enlarged abdominal wall can also be influenced by congenital connective tissue weakness or advancing age.
