How Is Tummy Tuck Surgery Performed at Arra Aesthetics?

Repositioning the Belly Button and Closing the Incision

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.
