Before and after abdominoplasty in a 44 year old mother of three. This procedure was part of her Mommy Makeover together with a breast reduction and lift, a labiaplasty and liposuction. She had a large abdominal overhang, known in medical terms as a “pannus” or an apron.
Her abdominal muscles were separated from her multiple pregnancies, creating a permanent bulge and poor ergonomics of her abdominal wall. She had stubborn fat deposits that she could not lose despite an extremely healthy balanced diet and working with her trainer for over 5 years.
An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removed her pannus overhang, repaired her rectus abdominis muscles back together in the midline, tightened her abdominal skin downwards and created a new opening for a cute and sexy umbilicus (navel).
Liposuction permanently removed her stubborn fat from her upper and lower abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, pubic region and upper inner thighs. Her labiaplasty and breast surgery was performed during the same operation. She stayed overnight in the hospital and took 3 weeks off her usual duties at home.
Follow up photos are shown at 9 months after surgery. She loves her belly and has loves to exercise now without feeling like her “stomach is going to fall out when doing a plank” and has resumed belly dancing!
