An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a procedure in plastic surgery to remove excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen to accentuate the muscles of the abdomen. It is commonly performed on patients who have finished a pregnancy or have undergone extensive weight loss. Depending on the scope of the procedure, it can take 1 to 5 hours under general anesthetic. Recovery time can range from 1 to 4 weeks, once again depending on the scope of the procedure. Complications of the procedure are uncommon and are similar to all forms of surgery, such as clotting and infection מתיחת בטן.
