In some cases, liposuction may also be used to remove additional fat deposits and improve body contouring.Muscle repair: If necessary, the surgeon will tighten the abdominal muscles by suturing them together in the midline, effectively creating a firmer abdominal wall and narrowing the waistline.Skin redraping: The remaining skin is then redraped over the abdomen and pulled taut to create a smoother, flatter appearance. The navel may be repositioned if needed.Closure: Once the desired results are achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings or compression garments may be applied to support healing and minimize swelling.
