The incisions for a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty are pretty common and pretty much the same. There'll be an incision around the bellybutton and the bellybutton is detached; that is placed back in an appropriate area, so you do have your bellybutton after a tummy tuck. The other incision usually runs from hip to hip in the bikini crease area.
