THE TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

To perform the abdominoplasty surgery, our board-certified surgeons will first make a mark on the patient’s abdomen. This will allow them to observe the places where the small incisions will have to be made. The two cutting areas are concentrated in the lower abdomen. The first cut is horizontal, just above the pubic hair, while the second is circular, around the navel.

With high-tech medical tools, the fat in the abdomen is aspirated. The muscles are brought together through sutures to model the new figure. The excessive skin will then be removed, pulled down, and the belly button repositioned. Once the surgery is finished, there will be a drain that will help clean the wounds and speed recovery.
