Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
An abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the stomach area and to tighten loose abdominal muscles; most often the result of pregnancy or significant weight loss. It is sometimes coupled with liposuction and takes between three and four hours to complete. General anesthesia is used, and frequently the patient will stay one night in the hospital for recovery.
