Tummy Tuck is a cosmetic surgery used to make the abdomen thinner and stiffer. Surgery removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen to tighten the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall. Tummy tack is a procedure that flattens the stomach by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. This surgical procedure is also known as abdominal wall plasty. Abdominoplasty can be considered a "mini" or more complex procedure, depending on the amount of skin and fat. Abdominoplasty is a major surgical procedure that takes weeks to heal. Techniques include making an incision from the hip to the hip. Patients should expect recovery to take 2-3 weeks. It is important to inform yourself, analyze your situation thoroughly, and take the time to make the final decision. Do not use this procedure in place of weight loss.
