Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve firmness of the abdomen by removing excess skin or fat from the middle and lower abdominal areas in order to tighten the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall. The procedure is commonly used to overcome stretch marks caused by pregnancy, sagging appearance after a major weight loss, or generally anyone with traditional “potbelly”.

There are many different types of Absominoplasties to suit different body shapes and sizes. For tight skin with little excess fat, a lower abdominal bulge can be corrected with a mini or partial Abdominoplasty. For enhancement to both the upper and lower abdomens, a full Abdominoplasty is usually required. Ultimately, the result is a firmer abdomen both in appearance and in feel.
