Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to correct abdominal contour deformities caused by excess skin laxity and weakened abdominal muscles. These conditions often persist despite diet and exercise, typically resulting from significant weight fluctuations or multiple pregnancies. It's important to note that abdominoplasty is not a primary weight-loss solution; however, patients undergoing the procedure for obesity-related abdominal deformities may experience some degree of weight reduction. An additional benefit is the opportunity to address abdominal hernias concurrently, allowing for hernia repair and strengthening of the abdominal wall during the same surgery. Regarding stretch marks, while there is no universal surgical or non-surgical treatment that eliminates all stretch marks, abdominoplasty can significantly reduce their appearance by removing the skin containing them, particularly those located on the lower abdomen.
