`Tummy Tuck` or Abdominoplasty
With weight gain of any type, comes the possibility that a person will develop a protruding abdomen from weak abdominal muscles and excess abdominal skin. Frequently, this results from substantial weight loss and/or pregnancies, in which case it is sometimes referred to in part as a "mommy makeover." The "tummy tuck" or abdominoplasty procedure corrects this problem area by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall, then rectifying the umbilicus (navel or belly button), and leaving the patient with a flat abdomen.
