abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. It helps create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile, especially after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. The procedure typically involves an incision across the lower abdomen, beneath the bikini line, and sometimes around the navel. Recovery varies, but most patients experience swelling and discomfort initially. It’s a cosmetically focused surgery aimed at improving the shape and contour of the abdomen for enhanced appearance and confidence.
