A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens muscles in the abdominal wall. Tummy tucks are not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. Rather, they can reshape an abdomen that resists traditional weight-loss methods.
The best candidates for tummy tucks are individuals who are in good health but have excess fat deposits or loose skin around the belly due to factors such as pregnancy, aging and significant weight fluctuations.
