Abdominoplasty has always been in the spotlight when it comes to improving the physique.

The cut is crossed over across the lower mid-region, beneath the swimsuit line. The whole skin and subcutaneous fat layer of the abdominal wall is lifted, up to the extent of the rib cage, with the exception of the actual umbilicus. In the event that an incisional hernia is present, it is currently fixed utilising a huge sheet of prolene mesh. The remainder of the abdominal wall is likewise fixed utilising non-absorbable nylon stitches. The excess hanging of skin and subcutaneous fat is cut off and the leftover fold is pulled down to the cross over cut line. Prior to shutting the cross over cut, a little opening is made in the fold to permit the umbilicus to arise in its generally expected position. This is stitched back into its place. The injury is shut under some strain, giving the belly a tight appearance.
