Tummy Tuck #46430

This is a tummy tuck case performed on a 43-year-old female patient weighing 187 lbs. The before photo shows the abdomen in a lateral view, with visible abdominal projection is due to severe rectus diastasis. Surgery addressed the diastasis and excess abdominal skin, and the after photo shows the lateral profile with a noticeably flatter abdominal contour. The low horizontal scar, visible just above the waistband in the after image, sits within the underwear line. If you're looking at cases like this one because you have similar concerns about abdominal skin and tissue, what you see here gives you a realistic picture of what this procedure addresses. Dr. Charles Slack can talk you through whether this is the right plan for your anatomy.
