After Tummy Tuck
This is a 32 year old mother of two, 5’4” and 130 pounds, interested in a tummy tuck. She told me she had really large babies. Her fascia was weak and stretched, and her skin on the lower abdomen was rather loose.
She is seen here after a full abdominoplasty with a tightening of the stretched fascia, a resection of a football shaped area of skin on the lower abdomen, and the creating of a new belly button. Scars include a circular one around the belly button and a “smile” shaped scar on the lower abdomen. She has small “dog ears” on each side of the lower abdominal scar which isn’t uncommon after this procedure. This will be treated with some liposuction under local anesthesia in the near future. I offer this so that the result is as good as it gets. Her scar has done particularly well even though it’s only a year old. She is still using the silicone scar strips! It will look even better after two or three years’ time. She has been running marathons lately and has lost about ten pounds since her original procedure.
