What is abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall.

How long does it take to recover from abdominoplasty?

While the recovery period usually ranges between two-six weeks based on the complexity of the surgery, you'll still need to avoid strenuous activity for at least six weeks. This includes any vigorous exercise or heavy lifting.
