Known to medical professionals as abdominoplasty, the Los Angeles tummy tuck is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure can reduce a protruding abdomen and create a flatter, more pleasing appearance. Candidates for the Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck include men and women who are looking to improve the appearance of excess skin and/or fat around the waistline that have not responded to diet and exercise.
