Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 3
Case 3 43 years old, three children. This patient demonstrates the tremendous power of surgical closure of the gap between the rectus (sit-up) muscles to restore a youthful and athletic contour tothe abdomen, even after severe stretching.. The belly button in this patient is oriented vertically.
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 4
Case 4 The main changes in this patient are removing the lower abdominal skin excess. Note the disappearance of the tattoo. Also, the mild bulging is corrected. Tightening of the rectus muscle separation is helpful for almost all patients. Relaxation of the abdominal wall occurs with childbirth and aging. The results of the repair enhance [...]
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 5
Case 5 One thing you will notice after many tummy tucks is how much better the posture is. The internal support of the relaxed abdominal wall is like an internal girdle. It corrects the excess lower back curvature and pelvic tilt. Some of my patients who have had back aches report an immediate improvement after [...]
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 6
Case 6 There are now ways of improving the residual stretch marks with the Palomar Lux 1540 erbium laser. This is the first FDA-approved laser for stretch marks. Most of the stretch marks are removed with the tummy tuck, because most are at or below the belly button, and this skin is removed. For a [...]

Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 8
Case 8 This patient shows the evolution of the abdominoplasty scar at four years. Many women fear having a bad scar, and this fear prevents them from having the procedure. As you can see, when the tension is relieved with sutures in the deep layer, the skin heals with minimal tension, allowing the scar to [...]
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 9
Case 9 3 months after high lateral and high superior tension abdominoplasty with liposuction of the abdomen and waist. Liposuction is a very important component of most abdominoplasties to reveal the underlying figure.
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 10
Case 10 Only six weeks after combined breast augmentation and lipo-abdominoplasty with vaser ultrasonic liposuction to the entire abdomen, waist and flank. The scar is well hidden, low in the bikini line. The umbilicus is placed at the proper height to look normal. A common problem seen in tummy tucks is the scar too high [...]
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 11
Case 11 Six months after vaser ultrasonic liposuction, breast augmentation and high lateral tension abdominoplasty. A striking improvement in posture is noted as tightening the abdominal wall internally improves the curve of the lower back.
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 12
46 year old woman, 5’8″, 175 lbs, four children, after 75 lbs weight loss. 38 C- bra size. Six months after high-lateral tension abdominoplasty, vaser ultrasonic liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks.

Abdominoplasty and Liposuction Patient 14
47 year old woman, 5’5″, 149 lbs, three children, with marked skeletal asymmetry and pelvic tilt. The prominence of the abdomen is influenced by the curvature of the lumbar spine. Two months post-op. With this degree of abdominal prominence it is difficult and probably unrealistic to expect as flat an abdomen as seen in patients [...]
Abdominoplasty and Breast Augmentation Patient 15
30 year-old patient 3 weeks post tummy tuck and 330 cc saline to 400 cc gel re-augmentation. Note low placement of the incision allowing patient to wear a bikini. The belly button is placed normally at an aesthetically-pleasing distance above the incision. The belly button is small, and vertical, without excess skin visible.
