Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 644

This patient, age 43, chose to undergo a tummy tuck to address changes to her abdominal contour. She paired her tummy tuck with breast lift and breast augmentation procedures as part of a Mommy Makeover designed to help her feel more comfortable and confident in her body. Her specific breast procedure results can be viewed on Case #434.

Before surgery, this patient expressed concerns about excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles that had not improved with diet and exercise. Recovery was established as a key priority in her treatment plan, taking her lifestyle and personal goals into account. After surgery, she noticed improved firmness and a flatter abdominal profile, as seen in the photos above.
