What will happen during tummy tuck surgery?
Nate DeislerAs you are anesthetized and breathing oxygen through a mask, your surgeon will make incisions in your abdomen and then remove excess fat, tissue, and skin. Your surgeon will also place permanent sutures around your connective tissue in the area and readjust the skin around your belly button using another, smaller incision. Then your incisions are closed using sutures, skin adhesives, tapes, or clips.
