Understanding Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat and tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles. It is especially beneficial after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.
The procedure improves abdominal contour, restores core strength, and creates a flatter, firmer midsection. A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss surgery but a body-shaping solution.
