Before and after abdominoplasty and circumferential liposuction of the abdomen and flanks (“lipo 360”) as part of a Mommy Makeover in a 46-year-old woman with moderate scoliosis – seen best from behind. At the same time as a breast lift, inverted nipple correction and liposuction of the armpits and bra rolls (axillary rolls), she wanted to improve the contour of her belly and her mid-section.
An abdominoplasty removed over two pounds of excess skin and fat from her lower abdomen. The actual specimen is shown below. Her rectus abdominis muscles were repaired back together in the midline, and her abdominal wall pulled snugly downward. Her belly button was brought out through a new skin opening.
Liposuction removed excess fat from her upper and lower abdomen, flanks all the way around, including her lower back, her pubic region and upper inner thighs. After surgery, she took a full month off work and resumed light exercise at six weeks postop.
Follow up photos are shown 1 year after surgery. Her scars are fading, and she feels very confident and comfortable wearing fitted dressings for her 47th birthday celebration!
