Before and after abdominoplasty and circumferential liposuction in a 34 year old mother. She was always tiny as a teen and in her 20’s – however, pregnancy changed her body into someone’s that she did not recognize. Despite hard work in the gym and clean eating, she had accumulated a thick layer of fat, stretch marks and an abdominal pannus (overhang) that persisted despite her best efforts.
An abdominoplasty removed excess lower abdominal skin and fat, including most of her stretch marks. Her abdominal muscles were repaired back together in the midline. Excess fat was liposuctioned out from her upper and lower abdomen, pubic region, and her flanks from the front all the way around to the back, and upper inner thighs.
Follow up photos are shown 7 months after surgery. Her scars are maturing nicely and she is back exercising and even bought a cute new swim suit! She is very happy with her decision to have Plastic Surgery – something she never imagined she would do before having children.
Mommy Makeovers aren’t supposed to make every Mom look like a supermodel. In contrast, every mother should feel comfortable in her skin and able to jump in the pool with her kids without giving her belly a second thought! That is why Plastic Surgery is so rewarding for me as a Mom, a woman and a Plastic Surgeon.
