Abdominoplasty involves lifting the skin and fat from the abdominal wall to the ribs and removing the excess by pulling downward. When necessary, the muscles of the abdominal wall are sutured together, allowing to refine the size. An incision is then made to suture the umbilicus to its new location on the skin. This procedure can significantly reduce the protruding appearance of the abdomen. However, it leaves a permanent scar which can, depending on the extent of the situation and the intervention, extend from one hip to the other.
When a mini abdominoplasty is performed, the incision is usually more limited, the skin and fat are lifted to the navel, pulled down and the excess portion is excised.
