Tummy Tuck Case #102

This is a 38 year old mother of two who came in to our office from South Houston, Texas looking for an improved appearance of her abdomen. The patient is 5’8”, weighed 175 pounds and had taken up running 6 months ago. During the surgeon’s physical exam, the abdomen showed a lot of stretch marks both above and below the belly button with a lot of loose skin in the lower portion. She also had full hips and thighs.   In order to achieve the results the patient was after, the recommendation was for an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with liposuction of the hips and thighs. The procedure was performed in our private surgical suite in Webster, Texas and the patient went home the same day. Two days later she walked back in to our office for her first follow up visit doing well. Her after pictures were taken 3 months later and although the scar was still a little red, the patient was very pleased with her new flat tummy. She was able to return to her training for the ½ marathon 4 weeks after her procedure.
