BEFORE and AFTER PHOTOS

1. Liposuction of abdomen

A 34 year-old woman, in excellent shape who worked out daily, could not lose fat in central abdomen. Photo on right shows result after liposuction of abdomen.

2. Mini abdominoplasty

In this example, a 38 year-old woman had excess skin removed in a "mini" abdominoplasty. Despite being in excellent physical shape, she could not lose this excess skin. During the procedure the outlined skin in the photo on the left was removed, including the scar from a previous cesarian section. She did not require tightening of any underlying muscles.

3. Abdominoplasty

A 62 year-old woman in excellent shape, who worked out daily, could not reduce stretch marks and excess skin in the abdomen. The solution was an abdominoplasty including removal of the outlined skin and tightening of the underlying muscles.

4. Liposuction and mini abdominoplasty

Liposuction combined with "mini" abdominoplasty to tighten abdominal skin.

5. Abdominoplasty

In this example, a 42 year-old woman, who had had five children, had considerable excess skin of the abdomen, stretch marks, and protuberance of abdomen resulting from loss of muscle tone. The photo on the right shows the result of a full abdominoplasty and tightening of underlying muscles.
