What happens to the tissue between the fascia sewn together during an abdominal repair? (Photo)
mrs. julyNov 9, 2018
I have watched some tummy tuck videos and see that when surgeons do an abdominal repair, the muscles are sewn together to contour the abdomen. It looks like the patients muscles are brought closer together below and beneath the belly button. The tissue is folded inside of itself. My question is does the tissue stay inside of itself? Does this create less space for internal organs? What exactly happens to this folded tissue?
