Before and after abdominoplasty and liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, pubis and upper inner thighs in a 38-year-old woman. She was slender and fit, but had loose lower abdominal skin, stretch marks and rectus diastasis after having children.
As part of her Mommy Makeover which also included a mastopexy and augmentation, an abdominoplasty removed much of her excess skin, repaired her muscles back together in the midline, inset her belly button through a new skin opening and provided a firmer and flatter abdominal contour.
Liposuction removed excess unwanted fat from her midsection and inner thighs. After surgery, she took a full six weeks off exercise and hired extra help for assistance with housework and “Mom duties.”
Long- term follow up photos are shown nearly 10 years after surgery. She has maintained her excellent level of fitness, and is demonstrating mature scars, a fantastic abdominal contour and evidence that a tummy tuck results can endure even decades later with commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
