Before & After
Case Details
After significant weight loss, this 33-year-old patient sought to address excess skin and improve abdominal contour. Their chief concerns were loose tissue and areas of stubborn fat that did not respond to further diet or exercise. Seeking both functional and cosmetic improvement, they elected to undergo a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck complemented by fat injections to the buttocks and hip dips.
The recovery process involved standard post-surgical protocols, including temporary activity modifications and follow-up appointments. Over time, this patient reported an improved sense of comfort and confidence in their body’s appearance. The combined approach of skin removal and strategic fat grafting helped achieve a more contoured midsection and balanced profile.
Individuals considering a tummy tuck often seek options that address both skin excess and areas of contour irregularity following weight loss. Visible results for this patient include a firmer abdominal area and enhanced proportions at the hips and buttocks.
Dr. Michael Carlisle performed the procedure, and is known for his careful assessment and individualized surgical plans. His experience in both reconstructive and aesthetic procedures helps patients seeking tummy tuck achieve their goals in a supportive clinical setting.
