Abdominoplasty
Sometimes the skin stretches so much, especially after pregnancy or weight loss, that it doesn’t relax back to a tight flattened state. The underlying muscles also can spread apart leaving a less appealing belly. An abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck”, involves tightening the abdominal muscles, and removing the loose excess skin to give a tighter, more youthful appearing abdomen. This is traded for a scar, which be hidden under a swimsuit or underwear.
