Procedure

Tummy tuck

What it is

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes loose skin and fat from the abdomen and often tightens the abdominal muscles.

The site counts a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck, a smaller operation on the lower abdomen, separately.

Every operation has risks; discuss them with a board-certified surgeon.
