Abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck", is a surgical procedure carried out to remove the excess wrinkled skin and fatty tissue from the abdomen and to tighten abdominal muscles.  The overall effect is to produce a smoother, flatter tummy.

The best candidate for this surgery has relative normal weight, weak muscles and excess skin.  Patients who are considerably overweight are less ideal candidates for this operation and may be advised to lose weight prior to surgery.   Age and skin tone has a lot to do with the level of improvement you may expect.   During the consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your particular condition and advise you as to whether you are a good candidate for this operation.
