Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

• Tummy Tuck

This 46-year-old woman was unhappy with her abdominal contour.  She had excessive fat, loose skin, stretch marks, and a belly button that she could no longer see.  She wanted a better shape and contour for her abdomen, and wanted to be rid of the hanging apron of skin and fat. 

She had a standard abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), which included liposuction of the abdomen and flanks, as well as repair of the seperated abdominal muscles and removal of the excess skin and fat.

She is very happy with her transformation!  The result seen here approximately 3 months after surgery shows a much improved abdominal contour with a low and easily hidden scar placement.  While her scar is still somewhat red this will continue to fade over time.  Her waist and hips have much better shape and the belly button is greatly improved.
