Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 585

This patient sought treatment to address persistent abdominal fullness and uneven contours following two cesarean deliveries. Despite maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, she found that localized fat and lax skin did not improve with nonsurgical measures. Her goal was to achieve a smoother, more proportionate abdominal contour. She also discussed concerns about her breasts and chose to undergo a breast lift at the same time (see case 584).

The patient's procedure included a standard tummy tuck in Vancouver, combined with targeted liposuction of the upper abdomen and flanks. After a thorough consultation, these options were selected to remove excess skin, tighten muscle laxity, and refine the waistline. Recovery proceeded as expected, in line with typical postoperative guidelines for these combined aesthetic procedures.

Photos above show the outcomes 4 months after surgery. The abdominal area now appears flatter with improved contour. Liposuction to the upper abdomen and flanks created a more defined waist. The patient reported satisfaction with her results, citing enhanced comfort and fit in clothing. her abdominoplasty scars will continue to lighten over the next 6-12 months. IPL light therapy can be used to quicken the fading of these scars.
