Tummy Tuck

What is a Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty or Lipectomy is a surgery that consists of removing excess fat and skin from the abdomen.

During this procedure, the muscles are tightened and the skin stretched to give the patient a defined abdomen.

It is indicated for people who have stretch marks due to stretching of the skin as a result of multiple pregnancies or massive weight loss.
