A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery that removes extra skin and fat from the stomach area while also tightening weakened abdominal muscles. It’s commonly done after major weight loss, pregnancy, or when loose skin and separated muscles won’t improve.

2️⃣. Excess skin and fat are removed.
3️⃣. Abdominal muscles are stitched tighter for a flatter stomach.
