#TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE SKIN#
The skin flap is then stretched down and the extra skin is removed. This provides a firmer abdominal wall and narrows the waistline. These muscles are tightened by pulling them close together and suturing them into their new position. Next, the surgeon separates the skin from the abdominal wall all the way up to your ribs and lifts a large skin flap to reveal the vertical muscles in your abdomen. With Mini Abdominoplasty, the incision is much shorter and the navel may not be moved, although it may be pulled into an unnatural shape as the skin is tightened and stitched. A second incision is made to free the navel from surrounding tissue. Most commonly, the surgeon will make a long incision from hipbone to hipbone, just above the pubic area. Mini Abdominoplasty may take an hour or two.
