Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 103

This is a 44 year old female who disliked her abdomen.  Over the years, pregnancies and the associated weight gain and weight loss had stretched her abdominal muscles and skin so that she no longer liked wearing snugly fitted clothing. All of the gym activities and continued efforts at weight loss could not give her the shape that she wanted.  She wanted to obtain a flatter stomach and after a thorough consultation, it was decided that a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) would give her the results that she desired.

The procedure involves removing the excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles.  Gym activities will not undo the stretching that pregnancies and weight gain and weight loss does to the body.  The only way to achieve a flatter stomach is to remove the skin and to surgically tighten the muscles.

She underwent the procedure without any difficulties and was back to her usual work and social activities in 10 days. She is seen in these post op photos approximately three weeks after the procedure.  The scars will continue to lighten and, in time, will hardly be noticeable.

She is happy she underwent the procedure and is thrilled with her new shape!
