This is another example of the skin only tummy tuck which is now becoming more popular than ever. Without muscle repair, the recovery is usually faster and less uncomfortable. We focused only on this 46-year-old woman’s tummy by doing liposuction of the abdomen, removing 750cc, and then skin only tummy tuck. Her clothes now fit so much better, and we even etched a little vertical muscle groove above her belly button!
This 37-year-old woman had a tummy tuck with a slight twist. After children, her skin had stretched out quite a bit in her tummy, but she felt her muscle tone was good. In her case we did liposuction to the tummy and a skin only abdominoplasty. No muscle tightening was done, only skin and belly button. By not doing the muscle her recovery was much quicker and comfortable.
It’s not very often, but sometimes, a skin only tummy tuck is all a patient needs. This 48-year-old woman presented with a history of abdominal surgery in her late teens that made it difficult to wear a bikini after that. She went on to have multiple C-sections, but her abdominal wall and muscles were very tight. So for her, we did a skin only tummy tuck which gave her the bikini- worthy result she wanted all those years, and a much faster recovery by not needing any muscle repair. Her photos are almost 2 years later
This 39-year-old had three children and really wanted to still wear a bikini but felt her tummy muscles and skin had stretched. She had a slight bit of fat in her central tummy, so we performed a bit of central liposuction and a full Brazilian tummy tuck, tightening her muscles in four different rows and reshaping her belly button. Her photos are now eight months later showing a much more muscular abdomen and she is feeling much more “bikini ready” for the summer!
This 44-year-old woman presented feeling frustrated just about her mid- section. She watched her diet and she exercised and was 5’6 and 135 pounds. But after 3 pregnancies her tummy wall was stretched out and she would wear a bikini but a very high waisted one! In surgery I just concentrated on her hips and tummy. I did 1800cc of lipo from hips, upper tummy, and an abdominoplasty. I asked how she felt about the almost hip to hip scar, but since only she, and her husband saw it, she didn’t mind at all!
This 48-year-old had great muscle tone but just skin that would not respond no matter how much she went to the gym. So, with her, we modified things and did some liposuction of the abdomen and a skin only tummy tuck with no muscle work. This is actually becoming more requested. The recovery is much faster and it’s perfect for people have good muscle tone but just need some skin tightening. She now has a little groove above her belly button and great muscle definition from all her hard work can now be seen!
This 46 year old had two children and after a hysterectomy saw her weight begin to creep up. She made a goal to fit into a bikini again and to add to her commitment, she planned a 30 pound weight loss, which she accomplished. We then did lipo of the tummy and a tummy tuck. She looks great and totally bikini ready!
5’6 ½” 145 lb. This woman was very active. She did Triathlons, so proving the point that many times after pregnancy (5 of them in this case!) your body can have a hard time getting back. She had a cyst removal at 23 which left her with a large vertical scar down the front of her tummy. We did Liposuction of the tummy and hips (2,000 cc out) and a Tummy Tuck and she has continued to compete.
