A Partial Abdominoplasty

Also referred as a mini-abdominoplasty, this procedure is conducted in patients whose fat deposits are located below the navel. This means that the surgeon will not remove the belly button and the procedure may only last for two hours. 

A Complete Abdominoplasty

During this procedure, the surgeon cuts the abdomen from the hipbone to another hipbone and then contour the skin, tissue, and muscle as required. With this approach, the belly button is moved and drainage tubes are applied for a few days or a week.
