Before & After Photos

This woman desired rejuvenation of the abdomen. Like many women, her abdominal area after multiple pregnancies underwent changes with development of excess skin and laxity of the underlying musculo-fascial support. Despite leading a healthy and active lifestyle, this region was not improved. She is an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery, as she is healthy and at an ideal body weight. Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery is designed for such patient, as it addresses the excess skin and laxity of the underlying support structures. She underwent an uneventful tummy tuck surgery with tightening of the underlying support structures and elimination of the excess skin from her umbilicus to her suprapubic region in an elliptical fashion with recreation of the belly button. Her final scar is low lying and well concealed by her normal clothing. She was very pleased with her new abdominal contour. She had a quick recovery, with resumption of normal activities in about two weeks, and felt much better both in and out of clothing. She required pain medications for about week. Her only regret was not having the surgery earlier in her life. She felt the improvement allowed her to look like she felt inside – perhaps even better than her daughters and grandchildren.
