Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 121

This is a 47 year old female who disliked the excess skin and stretch marks that were present after multiple pregnancies.  She went to the gym regularly but could not reduce the excess that was present in her abdomen.  She finally decided to come to the office to discuss her options.  During the consultation, all options were considered including liposuction and coolsculpting, but the only option that would get rid of the majority of the stretch marks, reduce the excess skin and give her a flat stomach was a tummy tuck.  Because she was a smoker, she was instructed to stop all nicotine consumption for at least 6 weeks prior to the procedure.  This would drastically reduce the potential for wound healing problems during the post op course.

She underwent the procedure without any difficulties and because she stopped smoking, the wounds healed without any difficulties. 

She returned to her usual activities within a week and is seen here 6 weeks after the procedure. 

She attained her goals of minimizing the stretch marks, reducing the excess skin and getting a flat tummy...all at once!  

She loves her new look!
