Tummy tuck procedure
Complete abdominoplasty, or full tummy tuck is recommended for those with a stable weight. It can be done under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Your plastic surgeon makes incisions under your navel to remove the excess skin and fat. Length of the incisions depends on the amount of excess skin that needs to be removed. However, two incisions will be made, one around the navel, and the other from hip bone on one side to the other side of the body. Then he will pull down the upper abdominal skin, and suture the remaining skin together to create an abdominal contour more proportionate to your body type. Then the navel will be replaced to a more natural looking position.
The whole abdominoplasty procedure may take up to 5 hours.
On the other hand, partial abdominoplasty or mini tummy, involves a single incision, through which your surgeon can remove excess skin and fat. It is possible that during this procedure your surgeon will not move your belly button. It is also noted that the surgery may only take up to 2 hours.
