Abdominoplasty is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat located in the abdomen and restores the tone of the abdominal muscles. It can take many forms, from mini abdominoplasty with the removal of a small amount of skin and preservation of the navel position, to large resections with transposition of the navel. Among the most frequent causes of a prominent and voluminous abdomen that indicate abdominoplasty are increasing age, hereditary factors, pregnancy, previous surgeries and significant weight fluctuations.
