Procedure Overview

The abdominoplasty procedure involves strategic surgical techniques to address multiple aesthetic and functional concerns in the abdominal region. Typical interventions include:

• Removing excess skin and fat
• Tightening underlying muscle structures
• Improving overall abdominal contour
• Addressing post-pregnancy or significant weight loss changes
