Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, as well as to tighten the underlying muscles. Here’s an overview of how it’s typically performed:
Pre-Operative Consultation
- Assessment: The surgeon evaluates your abdominal area, discusses your goals, and reviews your medical history.
- Planning: The surgeon will explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes.
Anesthesia
- Types: The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, but in some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be used.
Surgical Technique
Incision:
- A horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area. The length and shape of the incision depend on the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed.
- A smaller incision around the navel may be made if the procedure involves repositioning the belly button.
Skin and Fat Removal:
- The surgeon lifts the skin flap and removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area.
- Liposuction may also be used to enhance the contour of the abdomen.
Muscle Tightening:
- The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and stitched into place, providing better support and a firmer appearance.
Repositioning the Skin:
- The skin flap is pulled down over the newly tightened muscles, and the excess skin is removed.
- The belly button is repositioned to its new location if necessary.
Closing Incisions:
- The incisions are closed with sutures, and drainage tubes may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation.

Ideal candidates for abdominal liposuction are individuals with localized fat deposits in the abdominal area that are resistant to diet and exercise. Good candidates generally have relatively firm skin and are in good overall health.
The procedure typically involves making small incisions in the targeted area, through which a thin tube (cannula) is inserted. The fat is then loosened and suctioned out through the tube, contouring the abdominal area.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two. Patients are usually required to wear compression garments to support the healing process.
Abdominal liposuction primarily targets excess fat rather than loose skin. In some cases, it may result in mild skin tightening due to the removal of fat, but if there is significant skin laxity, additional procedures like a tummy tuck may be recommended.
The fat cells removed during liposuction are generally gone for good. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise is crucial to prevent new fat accumulation.
