The Formal Abdominoplasty

This operation is an all- inclusive procedure that can reduce almost any amount of skin, and fat and tighten up muscles above and below the navel. It offers the most flexibility for patients who have a lot of excess skin or weakened muscles. It can be combined with a lateral thigh lift if needed.

Examples:

40 Year Old Mom with Lax Skin and Muscle

Upper Row: Preop
Lower Row: 6 Months Postop
This patient tried an aggressive exercise regimen, but was unable to tighten the stretched muscle wall and skin. We tightened her muscle wall and removed skin from the marked area.

31 Year old with Post Pregnancy Changes

Upper Row: Preop
Lower Row: Postop
This young lady had the type 3 abdomen with stretched abdominal muscles and lax skin from pregnancy. Notice how fine the scar is at one month.
