A second incision is made around the navel for belly button transfer. After the surgery is completed, the incision line is closed subcutaneously with hidden stitches and covered with dressings. One or two tubes called drains are placed to remove excess fluid collected in the area. Usually, an evening stay at the hospital is sufficient.
