Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 40

This lady wanted improvement to the appearance of her abdomen. She exercised regularly, was in good health and her weight was stable. Despite her efforts she was frustrated at the rounded appearance of her abdomen and her stretch marks. 

Her post operative photos are 3 months after a standard tummy tuck. Her clothes fit better and she feels more confident. 

Dr. Mosher comments that many patients consider having cosmetic surgery for years before having a consultation. The laxity of this woman’s underlying muscle and fascia were responsible for her rounded shape and this can only be corrected with surgery. Scars take 1-2 years to mature and lose most of their color. Stretch marks in the central and upper abdomen can not be removed but with the improved tone achieved with surgery, the skin and remaining stretch marks will look better.
