Abdominoplasty before & after

An abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes two to three hours. The plastic surgeon makes a horizontal incision slightly above the pubic area and just below the bikini line. Next, the skin and fat are loosened at the level of the rib arch. In a major abdominoplasty, the plastic surgeon relocates and repositions the navel. If stretching of the abdominal muscles (diastasis) is present, they are brought back together in their original place and sutured (reefing). Excess skin and fatty tissue is also excised. After surgery, fluid may leak from the wound, for which two thin tubes (drains) are temporarily inserted until no more fluid comes out of the wound. At that point, these tubes can be removed.
