Before and after abdominoplasty with liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, pubic region and upper inner thighs in a 41-year-old mother of four. She was in good physical shape but had stretch marks and excess fat in her midsection, and separation of her abdominal muscles from multiple pregnancies.
A tummy tuck removed skin and fat from her lower belly, repaired her rectus diastasis, and redraped her abdominal skin smoothly. Liposuction removed fat from her upper and lower abdomen, pubic region, flanks and upper inner thighs.
Follow up photos are shown 4 months after surgery. Her belly button, formerly hidden by fat and extra skin is now open, inset through a new skin opening in the abdominal wall.
The abdominal scar is dark, as expected – it will slowly fade over the next year. Note also that many of her stretch marks have been removed. The remaining striae (stretch marks) are now improved better skin tension, causing them to look less noticeable.
