Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure which flattens your abdomen by removing excess skin and fat as well as repositioning and tightening the abdominal muscles to make it firmer. RealSelf readers report tummy tuck cost ranging from $6,000-$12,000 and an extensive tummy tuck recovery period. The surgery is often done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as breast lift and liposuction, thus getting the name the "Mommy Makeover".
