Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a procedure which involves removing excess fat and
skin which are deposited around the abdomen or tummy.
Abdomen is the part which is most susceptible to deposition of fat. Excess fat and
skin get accumulated around the abdomen and gives a loose and sagging appearance
to abdomen mostly in ladies after pregnancy. This sagging tummy gives an older and
tired appearance and also it poses difficulty for a person to do daily routine work
with swiftness. So the persons with tummy desire to have a well toned and plane
abdomen. When exercise, dieting etc. do not seem to work, Abdominoplasty helps a
person to get rid of the excess fat and skin around abdomen.
