Abdominoplasty is a surgical operation to remove loose skin from areas where large weight loss (or pregnancy) has left surplus over-stretched skin which cannot be reduced by exercise or dieting.

This type of loose skin is a particular problem for older people who were overweight or obese for a long time before finally managing to lose weight, as skin loses elasticity with age.

During the abdominoplasty surgical procedure the excess skin is cut away and the remaining skin restitched. This operation may leave a scar along the bikini line and occasionally the navel.

Abdominoplasty is a serious operation and may be combined with other weight loss surgery, such as liposuction.
