The navel remains attached to the abdominal wall, but is released from the surrounding skin and fat through a diamond shaped incision around the navel. The abdominal muscles are tightened by suturing them together in the midline. These internal sutures are permanent but all of the remaining sutures used for the skin closure are absorbable. The excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen are trimmed.
