A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that helps create a flatter and firmer abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying muscles. It is commonly done to restore abdominal tone after pregnancy, major weight loss, or the natural aging process.
Loose skin: Significant weight loss or pregnancy can leave behind sagging skin around the midsection.
Muscle laxity: Changes in body shape due to pregnancy or weight gain can weaken abdominal muscles, causing the stomach to appear less toned.
Stretch marks: The stretching of the skin during weight changes or pregnancy can lead to visible stretch marks, especially in the lower abdomen.
