Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, and strengthening the abdominal muscles. Also known as tummy tuck surgery or abdominal dermolipectomy, this intervention is commonly performed after pregnancies or significant weight loss, when the elasticity of the skin has been compromised.

During abdominoplasty, the surgeon makes a strategic incision to access the underlying tissues, reshapes and tightens the abdominal muscles if necessary, and removes excess skin and fat. This procedure seeks to achieve a flatter and firmer abdomen, providing lasting results and improving the patient's self-esteem.
