Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

After weight loss or pregnancy, there may be extra skin and fat on the abdomen which will not shrink by itself. Using an incision on the lower abdomen that can’t be seen beneath a two-piece bathing suit, the extra skin is removed, and fat under the skin can also be decreased. In most cases it is also possible to narrow the waist.
