Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck," is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. The procedure also involves tightening of the muscles of the abdominal wall. It reduces the appearance of a protruding abdomen and narrows the waist.
