Abdominoplasty on Long Island

At Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery, abdominoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia (given by our board certified MD Anesthesiologist) as an outpatient procedure. The surgery generally takes 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, depending on the full extent of the tummy tuck.

The exact procedure for your abdominoplasty surgery in Suffolk County, Long Island will depend on the amount of excess skin and fat removal and your abdominal muscle tone. Full tummy tucks require an incision below the bikini line across the abdomen from hip to hip, and an incision around the navel. The stomach muscles are tightened by pulling the muscles and suturing them together creating a stronger abdominal wall and narrowing the waist. Excess skin is removed by pulling the skin down and creating a new opening for the navel. The incisions are closed with sutures and bandaged.

If there is minimal excess skin to be removed, and especially if there is no excess skin above the navel, a mini tummy tuck may be recommended. Mini tummy tucks require a smaller incision and the navel will not have a scar.
