The incision is made along the bikini line, then remove excess skin, subcutaneous tissue, if necessary, tightening of the abdominal wall muscles.
TOTAL ABDOMINOPLASTY

In a full abdominoplasty in Germany, two incisions are made: in the bikini area and in the area of the umbilical ring. Then the skin and subcutaneous tissue are peeled from the underlying muscles, and remove their excess. The muscles are sutured with non-absorbable suture material. If necessary, the umbilical ring is moved and modeled.
At the end of the operation, drainage drains are installed and cosmetic sutures are applied, which are closed with sterile dressings.
ENDOSCOPIC ABDOMINOPLASTY IN GERMANY

Plastic surgery for hernias is performed only on a planned basis, in case of complications, classical surgery is performed.
