ABDOMINOPLASTY Facts & Stats ... ··· ... .. Definition: Abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy tuck) is an incision made from hip to hip just above the pubic area. Another incision is made to free the navel from the surrounding skin. This skin is detached from the abdominal wall to reveal the muscles and fascia. The muscles and fascia will be tightened with sutures. Liposuction is also commonly performed during a tummy tuck, and will help to refine the transition zones of the abdomen, a process called body sculpting.
