Stepwise procedure of Tummy Tuck Surgery:

Based on the patient’s unique requirement, the surgeon makes markings for incisions for the procedure of a tummy tuck on a clean abdomen skin, while the patient stands straight.

• Making of incisions- A large cut is made in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area, below the navel, from one hip to another to separate abdominal skin from the abdominal wall. 
• Removal of extra skin and fat- The surgeon performs extra abdominal skin excision and stubborn fat removal using the liposuction technique. 
• Abdominal muscles tightening- The surgeon uses sutures to tighten separated or slack abdominal muscles. 
• Repositioning of navel- The surgeon makes another cut for repositioning of the belly button with sutures. 
• Closing of incisions- Lastly, all skin incisions are closed using surgical tape, glue, or stitches.

Note: 

• For a full/complete tummy tuck, the surgeon makes an incision from one hip bone to the other, above or within the pubic hairline. 
• Sometimes the temporary placement of drainage tubes in the incision sites to avoid fluid accumulation. 

• After a successful post-operation, the tummy tuck surgeon sutures all the surgery incisions and covers them with sterile dressings. 
• The patient is guided on the healing process and provided with recovery care instructions. 
• To alleviate swelling, the patient is asked to wear compression garments. 
• The surgeon is strict about no strenuous activities and the practice of proper surgical wound care.
