How Is Tummy Tuck Surgery Performed at Arra Aesthetics?
Anaesthesia and Incision
General anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation is administered according to the treatment plan. The surgeon then makes a horizontal incision between the belly button and pubic hairline to remove excess skin and fat.
Tightening the Abdominal Tissue
The connective tissue over the abdominal muscles is tightened with sutures to improve abdominal support and contour.
Repositioning the Belly Button and Closing the Incision
The skin around the belly button is repositioned, and the belly button is brought through a small incision and sutured into its usual position. The abdominal incision is then stitched together from hip to hip above the pubic hair. The scar is positioned along the natural crease within the bikini line.
Applying Dressings and Drains
The abdominal incision and belly button are covered with surgical dressings. Small tubes may be placed along the incision to drain excess fluid or blood. These drains may remain for several days after surgery. Antibiotics may be given during the procedure to help prevent infection.
