Tummy Tuck is performed under general anesthesia and the scar hidden in the bikini line. It may also include liposuction and the tightening of the abdominal wall if necessary.
Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation time: 3 weeks

Drains will be removed at the first dressing change and an abdominal binder or compression garment will have to be worn for 3 weeks.
