The skin is lifted and underlying muscles and connective tissues are tightened and secured.

The skin is carefully redraped to a natural look and the excess skin is removed. The skin is not overpulled, as this can lead to tissue healing problems such as widening of scars, as well as an unnatural look.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures and staples which permit surgery without shaving hair from the site.

Small rubber tubes may be placed under this bandage to drain excess fluids. They are easily removed the next day
