Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 12226

This patient came to The Center for Cosmetic Surgery seeking a flatter tummy and a return to her pre-pregnancy shape. After four children, she described persistent excess skin, stretch marks, and difficulty fitting into her favorite jeans. Her main goal centered on restoring confidence in her midsection while maintaining a natural belly button appearance.

To address these concerns, the patient underwent a drainless tummy tuck in combination with liposuction of her flanks and lower back. This approach removed excess skin and fat deposits, smoothing her abdominal contour. Healing progressed as expected, and she was able to resume routine activities in the weeks following surgery.

Her outcome highlights several benefits of a tummy tuck, including a significantly flatter abdomen, improved skin tone, and an easier time finding clothes that fit comfortably. The before and after photos above demonstrate the noticeable changes in her midsection. Most importantly, the patient shared satisfaction with the natural result, especially the preserved appearance of her belly button.
