Tummy Tuck #23752

This case involves a 28-year-old female patient who underwent a tummy tuck procedure combined with liposuction and umbilical transposition, without muscle tightening. She was athletic and did not have a history of childbirth and felt her abdominal muscles were still tight. She is one of the rare individuals who can lose about 100 pounds and still have a tight abdominal wall, and Dr. Isakson offered a rapid recovery tummy tuck with no muscle repair to treat her concerns. The post-operative images taken three months after the procedure show notable changes in the abdominal profile. The pre-operative photo displays excess abdominal skin and adiposity, which is significantly reduced in the post-operative photo. The surgical technique applied has resulted in a smoother, flatter abdomen and a repositioned navel that contributes to an altered abdominal contour, without the lengthy time out of the gym required by a muscle repair. Visible markings from surgery have faded considerably, indicating healing.
