An abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) consists in the removal of excess fat and skin from the lower and middle of the abdomen, tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall and making your tummy flatty and firmer. A partial abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck) is a similar surgery which targets only the lower abdomen and therefore less invasive. A temporal tube may be placed to drain excess fluid from the affected area and can help to minimize swelling.

This surgery is perfect for female abdomens which have been stretches by pregnancy or weight gain, since usually, the tummy fails to return to its original shape after such circumstances; tissue which fails to react to exercise or diet programs.
