Abdominoplasty, probably better known as tummy tuck cosmetic surgery, is the operation to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen or tummy. The majority of patients opting for this procedure will be women who, following the birth of their child(ren), dislike the effects childbirth has had on their body shape and appearance.
Abdominoplasty / tummy tuck cosmetic surgery is a major operation carried out under general anaesthesia and requires a two or three night stay in hospital following surgery.
