Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" is a cosmetic surgery procedure to
reshape and firm the abdomen. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat
from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscles of the
abdominal wall. This type of surgery is usually sought by women (who are not
considering having anymore children) and individuals who have abdominal fat
deposits which do not respond well to diet and exercise.
There are two broad variation of abdominoplasty:
- Complete. Requires from about two to five hours
- Partial. Requires from about one to two hours
