What is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty, also called "tummy tuck", is a major surgical procedure. Abdominoplasty is meant to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. A tummy tuck is NOT the same as liposuction. And, while this procedure does visibly reduce the a protruding abdomen, it also produces a scar which is permanent.
