Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the abdominal muscles. This comprehensive body contouring technique helps patients achieve a smoother, more toned abdominal profile.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty offers significant advantages for patients seeking aesthetic improvements and enhanced body confidence. The procedure can help patients achieve:

• A flatter, more toned abdominal area
