This is a YouTube video titled "what is abdominoplasty" containing an explanation about the tummy tuck procedure, describing its purposes, duration, and recovery time. The content is a monologue or informational talk without multiple speakers or a conversation involving Dr. Cory Goldberg.
Abdominoplasty, or otherwise known as tummy tuck, is one of the most common body contouring operations that I perform. The point of a tummy tuck is threefold one is to remove extra skin, another to remove extra fat, and the third intention is to tighten and repair muscle, which is often loosened and torn from having children and weight fluctuations throughout a lifetime. Tummy tuck takes about two hours to perform and the recovery time afterwards is about seven days, with most patients returning to regular exercise and activity by about four weeks after surgery.
