This procedure is done to tighten abdomen and remove excess skin and fat to improve the contour of the abdomen.
Synonyms: tummy tuck
This procedure also known as the tummy tuck is done especially after weight loss or pregnancy to tighten the abdominal wall and remove any of the excess stretched skin or excess fat to restore a youthful and tighter abdomen. It is usually done under general anesthesia and involves an incision around the umbilicus (belly button) and across the lower abdomen necessary to remove the skin there. This can be done with minimal liposuction at the same time but usually done separately for safety and healing purposes. The procedure usually takes 2 to 3 hours.
