Abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. This type of surgery is usually sought by patients with loose or sagging tissues after pregnancy or major weight loss.
The surgeon performing a tummy tuck must have a license for practicing cosmetic surgery. He should be a skilled surgeon and also have several years of experience. He should be familiar to all forms of abdominoplasty, such as partial abdominoplasty, high tension lateral tummy tuck, circumferential abdominoplasty and FAB technique.

- The Plastic and Reconstructive Mexico Surgeons Council
- The International Society For Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery
- The Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
- The Ibero-Latino-American Association of Plastic Surgery
- The Association of Residents and Ex-residents of the Instituto Jalisciense de Cirugía Reconstructiva “Dr Jose Guerrerosantos”
