Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Tummy Tuck surgery is undertaken to remove excess skin and fat around the lower abdominal area.
This procedure is often undertaken to enhance the visual appearance as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, or weakened/stretched abdominal muscles. As part of this procedure, abdominal muscles can be tightened and repaired.
