Abdominoplasty Gallery

Before and after abdominoplasty and liposuction in a 49 year old woman.  She had always been a little “thick in the middle” – she was not looking to change her shape, but to finally rid herself of her fat belly and lower stomach overhang that accumulated after having children.  

A tummy tuck surgically removed excess skin and fat from her lower abdomen.  Her separated and stretched-apart abdominal muscles were repaired back together in the midline.  Her abdominal wall skin was pulled tightly downwards and her belly button was brought out through a new opening – like bringing a button through a button hole.

Lastly, liposuction permanently removed excess fat from her upper and lower abdomen, pubic region, flanks and upper inner thighs.  Follow up photos are shown 6 months after surgery.

Her scars are maturing and she still has some firm swelling in the areas of liposuction that will take several more months to completely resolve.
