A procedure in which excess fat and skin are removed and, in most cases, weakened or separated muscles are restored, creating a smoother and toned abdominal profile. Having a flat and toned abdomen is something many of us strive to achieve through exercise and weight control. However, sometimes exercise and weight control are not enough to reach our goals. Even individuals with a normal body weight and proportion can develop a protruding, loose, and sagging abdomen.

The most common causes of these situations include:

• Pregnancy

• Aging

• Significant weight fluctuations

• Heredity

• Previous surgery

Abdominoplasty is a highly individualized procedure, and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to conform to any sort of ideal image.
