An Abdominoplasty, also known as a "Tummy Tuck", is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to flatten the abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure has become very popular in recent years.
The main reason for a Tummy Tuck is to remove excess skin, not excess fat. Although some fat can be removed, the procedure is not designed to remove large amounts of fat. It is considered contouring surgery, not fat-loss surgery.
