Abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and tightens the abdominal area. It is particularly helpful for people who have loose skin, stubborn belly fat, or weakened abdominal muscles. Lifestyle habits, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging often contribute to these changes. While exercise and diet improve health, they cannot always restore firmness in the abdomen. Abdominoplasty helps patients achieve a smooth, flat, and youthful midsection.
