- Use some stitches to strengthen the abdominal muscles, then remove excess skin.
- Suturing the subcutaneous layer in a way that ensures uniform stretching of the skin along the abdominal wall.
- Suturing the surgical incision using special sutures, and placing bandages.
- A drain tube is left inside the surgical incision to drain secretions, fluid residue, and blood from the tissues.

The patient stays under observation in the hospital for one night, and the dressings and drain tube are usually removed one day after the operation.
