Women often lose elasticity in their stomach after pregnancy, while others may experience sagging skin or fat deposits as a result of factors like aging or weight loss. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen (between the pelvis and belly button), tightening the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. This procedure will leave you with a firmer and leaner abdomen, a slimmer waist, and tightened skin.

Your specific situation will determine how long the procedure will take and what all will be involved. For example, a full abdominoplasty can take anywhere from 1-5 hours, whereas a partial procedure may take 1-2 hours. Depending upon the condition of your abdomen, your procedure may involve one or more of the following:

• Eliminating loose and sagging skin
• Tightening the underlying abdominal muscles
• Removing excess fat
