Abdominoplasty, also referred to as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure providing a flatter, more pleasing abdomen. This is achieved by removing excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen and by tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.

This procedure can take place in a surgical center, office or hospital, and most commonly requires either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation. Two to five hours is typically required to complete the procedure.

The surgeon begins by making an incision from hipbone to hipbone, along with another incision which frees the bellybutton from the tissue around it. The skin is then separated and lifted to reveal the vertical muscles of the abdomen which are then tightened. The skin flap is then drawn back down and the extra skin removed. The bellybutton is stitched into place after having a new hole cut for it, then the incisions are closed.

After the procedure, most patients go back to work within two to four weeks, though more strenuous activities should be avoided for four to six weeks. Potential risks and complications associated with abdominoplasty surgery are as follows: bleeding under the skin flap, blood clots, conspicuous scarring, infection, poor healing, skin loss, and the need for additional surgery.
