Before and after abdominoplasty and liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover in a 41-year-old mother of four She had always been athletic with a flat belly before having children – she wanted her body back!
A tummy tuck corrected her rectus diastasis, enabling her abdominal muscles to work better ergonomically and do their job maintaining core strength. Lower abdominal skin and fat was trimmed, and her umbilicus (belly button) was inset through a new skin opening. Liposuction removed fat from her upper and lower abdomen, pubic region and upper inner and outer thighs.
Very early follow up photos are shown 3 weeks after surgery. Although she is still very swollen, she can already appreciate her results. Scar therapy will begin in another month, when all her scabs are gone. The last two images show the major separation of her abdominal muscles (over ten centimeter rectus diastasis) before and after repair.
