Abdominoplasty Explained: How It Works, Who It’s For, and What It Can Do

Abdominoplasty, often known as tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the abdomen. It entails removing excess skin and fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and contouring the abdomen to achieve a smoother, tighter shape. Individuals who have undergone major weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing and have loose or sagging skin frequently seek this treatment. Abdominoplasty is classified into two types based on the degree of the surgery: full and small tummy tucks. Recovery times vary, and postoperative care is critical for best results.
