A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles for a firmer, flatter midsection. Often chosen after pregnancy or significant weight loss, this procedure restores core strength and improves body contour by addressing loose skin, stretch marks, and weakened abdominal walls. The result is a smoother, more toned stomach and a renewed sense of confidence.
