Abdominoplasty is also known as tummy tuck. It is an operation to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles. Tummy tuck is indicated in cases where there is laxity of the abdomen resulting in bulging due to abnormal stretching of the abdominal muscles and skin. The actual extent of surgery will depend on the amount of excess skin and the laxity of the abdominal muscles. The operation is usually carried out under general anesthesia.
