Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 267

Following multiple pregnancies, this 39 year old patient found that her abdominal contour had changed despite regular workouts. She sought to restore the flatter profile she had before. She came to the office wanting to reestablish a flat abdomen and it was decided that an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) would be  performed in order to achieve those goals. The procedure included tightening of the abdominal muscles and removal of excess skin below the belly button.

Exparel, a long-lasting injectable anesthesia, was used to reduce post-operative discomfort. She went home the day of the procedure and returned to full activities within two weeks.

The before photo shows the abdomen with excess skin with the muscles protruding.  The after photos demonstrate a notably flatter, tighter profile. For anyone researching a tummy tuck in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, this case illustrates that the procedure can address excess skin and muscle laxity that exercise alone could not resolve.

She was thrilled with her results and was happy that the whole post op process and recovery was much easier than she had originally thought it would be. She is seen in the post op photos 2 months after the procedure and she loves her new and restored look
