Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 117

This is a 38 year old female who wanted to improve her abdomen.  As a result of multiple pregnancies, she developed stretch marks on the lower region of her abdomen and it was no as flat as she would have desired.  Exercise alone was not able to flatten her abdomen and the stretch marks could not be reduced.  After a thorough discussion of her options which also included liposuction and coolsculpting, she decided to undergo a tummy tuck.

The tummy tuck involved removing the skin below the belly button as well as tightening the abdominal "sit up" muscles.  Removing the skin eliminated the stretch marks that were lower than the belly button and tightening the muscles provided the flat abdomen that she could not achieve by going to the gym.

Her recovery was quick and she was back to her usual activites in 10 days.  She is seen in the post op photos 6 weeks after the procedure.

She loves her new look!
