Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 143

This is a 45 year old woman who wanted her belly to look closer to what it was like prior to the pregnancies that she had years ago.  She disliked the fullness that was present and wanted to obtain a flat abdomen and to remove the excess skin that was present as well. 

After a thorough discussion, we decided that she was an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).  This procedure involves removing all of the excess skin below the belly button and then tightening the abdominal muscles which were stretched during pregnancy.  Gym activities will not be able to return these muscles to their original position - only this procedure will accomplish that goal!  Liposuction will only reduce the amount of fat in the skin and will not address the muscle separation as well. 

She underwent the procedure and was back to her usual activities in under two weeks.  She is seen here 4 years after the original procedure and loves her flat belly.  She admits that she can now wear the more "form fitting" clothes that she was unable to wear prior to the procedure.  She loves the new look!
