A tummy tuck is an operation where the extra skin and soft tissue of the abdomen and especially the lower abdomen is removed and the poochy abdomen is corrected at the same time. This procedure flattens one's abdomen by removing extra fat and skin, and tightening muscles in the abdominal wall as well. Dr Mark Elliott discussed this procedure.
