A tummy tuck medically known as Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen.

During the procedure excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen and connective tissue in the abdomen is tightened. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned appearance.

There are a number of reasons you might have excess fat, poor elasticity of the skin or weakened connective tissue in your abdomen. These include when there has been a significant change in weight, abdominal surgery such as a C-section or general ageing. A tummy tuck can also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton.

This procedure is not suitable for everyone so it is important to seek professional advice from your Doctor.
