Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 39

This woman had been bothered for years by her loose tummy. For many years she was very overweight but eventually made serious changes to her lifestyle. She lost nearly a 100 lbs. 

As a condition of her having cosmetic surgery she committed to stopping smoking. Her after photos are 4.5 months following an extended incision length abdominoplasty. Her recovery was uneventful and she is back to her active lifestyle and enjoying a few new items in her wardrobe. She is planning her breast lift surgery.

Dr. Mosher comments that age is not a contraindication for elective surgery. However, all patients need a commitment to a healthy lifestyle and should be near their ideal weight before surgery. With massive weight loss there is always excess skin and poor tone present. Surgery of the torso and breast is commonly done to restore more youthful contours but a realistic set of expectations for outcomes are essential.
