Complete or Full Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty The complete or full tummy tuck involves a horizontal “bikini” line incision across the lower abdomen just above the pubic area. A second incision is made around the belly button. After that, the skin of the abdominal wall is lifted all the way up to the ribs to create a “skin flap”.Determined by your circumstances and also the advice of your doctor, you'll sometimes be provided with the option of a mini-abdominoplasty or a complete abdominoplasty. A complete tummy tuck usually takes about 2 hours, depending on the extent of work required. A partial (mini-) abdominoplasty may take an hour or so. These procedures are performed in an outpatient facility under conscious sedation. The best candidates for a tummy tuck are women and men that are in good physical condition but have excess fat, loose skin, or loose muscles in the abdominal area that won’t respond to exercise or diet.
This provides a firmer abdominal wall and narrows the waistline. The skin flap is then stretched down and the extra skin is removed. A new hole is cut for your navel, which is then stitched in place. Finally, the “bikini line” incisions are stitched. Dressings and a garment are applied and after having a quick healing you are all set home.
