Abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck"
is a cosmetic surgery procedure
used to make the abdomen more
firm. The surgery involves the
removal of excess skin and fat
from the middle and lower
abdomen in order to tighten the
muscle and fascia of the
abdominal wall. This type of
surgery is
usually
sought by patients with loose
tissues after pregnancy or
individuals with sagging after
major weight loss. |
