What are the specifics of the abdominoplasty procedure?
First, Dr. Mosser makes an incision, usually along the lower abdomen and upper thighs (“bikini line”). Next, he lifts the skin of the abdominal region, removes surplus fat and tightens the abdominal muscles. Finally, the skin is pulled down and any excess is removed. Sometimes, the patient’s navel will need to be repositioned to accommodate a firmer tummy. Following surgery, a bandage is applied to provide abdominal support.
