Before and after abdominoplasty as part of a Mommy Makeover in a 37 year old mother of three. She no longer recognized her belly – she wanted to be able to wear fitted clothes again and feel comfortable going swimming with her kids.
An abdominoplasty removed excess lower abdominal skin and fat including many of her stretch marks, repaired her abdominal muscles back together in the midline, and pulled her abdominal skin tightly downward. Her native belly button was brought out through a new skin opening that created a normal looking “innie”.
Liposuction removed unwanted stubborn fat in the armpit and bra roll region (axillary rolls), upper and lower abdomen, anterior flanks/love handles, the pubic area and upper inner thighs.
Follow up photos are shown just 2 months after surgery. She still has a “shelf” of lower abdominal edema, which is normal firm swelling that takes many months to gradually resorb. She is actively doing scar therapy and is ready to jump in the pool!
