ABDOMINOPLASTY, is a surgical procedure done by plastic surgeons to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten muscles of the abdominal wall.  Abdominoplasty is not a surgical treatment for being overweight.  Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery until they have been able to maintain their weight loss.
