The word “plastic” in the term is derived from Greek word “plastikos”, which means “to mold or to shape”. Some people get confused by feeling that plastic is used in the procedure. There is, in fact no relation with the “plastic” we see now and the surgery.
There are many type of cosmetic/aesthetic procedures followed today. The ‘Abdominoplasty’ or ‘Tummy Tuck’ is one example. Tummy Tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen stronger.
