Before and after abdominoplasty without muscle repair (also called a “mini-abdominoplasty”) in a 32-year-old woman. She had changed her lifestyle and lost weight, but she still had excess fat in her mid-section.
An abdominoplasty removed over 1350 grams (three pounds!) of skin and fat from her lower abdomen. Her belly button was repositioned through a new skin opening. Since she had not been pregnant previously, she did not have any muscle separation to repair.
Liposuction removed over three liters of unwanted fat from her abdomen, circumferential flanks and pubic region. Follow up photos are shown a year and a half after surgery.
