This is the skin removed from the lower abdomen during an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck. Patients often ask what’s being “tucked” during this operation, and in fact, nothing is being tucked. Instead, skin and fat are removed. This tissue tends to be very dense, and removal helps to relieve tension on the lower back while dramatically improving the contour of the abdomen. 👌 #drnaidu #abdominoplasty (at Nina S.
