Abdominoplasty, commonly called a "tummy tuck", is a fairly complex surgery that results in quite dramatic physical changes. A tummy tuck can improve the shape and contour of the abdomen (or stomach) and the skin around to be smooth, flat, and tight. Both men and women can have tummy tucks, although the procedure is more commonly performed on women.

Especially after pregnancy, many women experience sagging and loose skin, and/or excess fat throughout their abdominal or stomach area. In men, fat is naturally deposited around the belly and, over time, can become unmanageable--even with proper diet and exercise!

With the help of a skilled surgeon, this excess skin and fat around the tummy can be safely removed to help patients achieve a firmer and flatter stomach and abdomen. The most noticeable differences are usually psychological, with significantly boosted self-esteem and confidence. And, of course, being able to fit into those smaller sizes!
