Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 676

This patient, age 48, underwent a circumferential tummy tuck, also called a 360 tummy tuck. Unlike a standard tummy tuck, this procedure extends the surgical work around the entire lower trunk. The incision travels 360 degrees, allowing skin and fat to be removed and contoured at the flanks, waist, lower back, and buttocks, with the buttock tissue lifted as part of the same procedure.

Three months after surgery, the after photos show a notably flatter abdominal contour, reduced bulk along the sides and back, and a lifted appearance through the gluteal area.

For those researching a tummy tuck in West Des Moines & Ames, this case illustrates what a circumferential approach addresses compared with a standard tummy tuck: the procedure treats not only the front of the abdomen but the waist, flanks, lower back, and buttocks in a single surgery.

This procedure was performed by Michael Carlisle, MD. Dr. Carlisle is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.
