Abdominoplasty ( Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck", is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But keep in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which varies in length, depending on the original problem and on the surgery used to correct it.
