Before & After
Case Details
After losing 100 pounds, our patient, 48, sought a Tummy Tuck to address excess abdominal skin and achieve a smoother profile. She also underwent a breast lift and breast augmentation, though those results are not shown in these images. Her goal was not to increase her breast size, but to restore fullness and lift using modest 250cc implants. The images above show her tummy tuck results three months after surgery.
The patient reported that she is very pleased with her results, noting the positive impact the procedure has had on her daily comfort and confidence. She described her experience as professional and stated she is "so happy." These changes have allowed her to better enjoy the results of her weight loss.
Dr. Michael Carlisle, MD, performed the procedure. He is double board certified in plastic surgery and otolaryngology. Dr. Carlisle is known for his expertise in body contouring and his commitment to helping patients achieve natural-looking outcomes following significant weight loss. For those considering a Tummy Tuck in Iowa, Dr. Carlisle offers thorough consultation and patient-centered care at every step.
