Tummy Tuck Gallery Plastic Surgery in Austin | Patient 07

Patient Details

This young man managed to successfully lose 100 pounds with diet and exercise. He complained of loose, excess skin on his abdomen.

He is seen here after a full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with removal of excess skin and tightening of the abdominal fascia. He is four months out and his scars haven’t completely healed yet—it takes about two years for them to look their best.

There is no difference between an abdominoplasty in a male and female. It is more common in women because of pregnancy. Huge weight loss affects the body in a similar fashion as pregnancy—it stretches and loosens the strong muscular layer of the abdomen and the skin becomes loose.
