Click on this button for more information on a Tummy Tuck.
In a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty), an incision is usually made across the pubic area and around the navel. Skin in the shaded area is separated from the abdominal wall.
To tighten the abdominal wall, the surgeon brings loose underlying tissue and muscle together with sutures.
Abdominal skin is drawn downward, and the excess is removed. A small opening is made to bring the navel through.
