Before & After
Case Details
Our patient, a 42-year-old mother, sought a tummy tuck to restore her abdominal contour following changes from pregnancy and weight fluctuations over the years. Her primary goals were to address excess skin and achieve a smoother, firmer midsection. The photos above document her progress before and after her tummy tuck.
She underwent her procedure with board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Carlisle, MD of Koch & Carlisle Plastic Surgery. Recovery included an initial phase of downtime and gradual return to normal activity. Over the following weeks, swelling diminished, and she noticed improved waist definition and a flatter abdominal profile. Her "after" photos are taken 3 months post-procedure.
