Abdominoplasty, also called Tummy Tuck, is a surgical procedure that involves the reduction of excess redundant skin and fat of the anterior abdominal wall and the strengthening of the abdominal wall muscles. This cosmetic procedure is gaining more attention and recognition in the Sub-Saharan Africa. We intend to document the presentation, treatment and complications in the Sub-Saharan Africa of the nine teen cases that had been managed.
