Before & After Case 23

This 46-year-old female wanting to transform her abdomen following pregnancy and post-bariatric weight loss surgery. After having her children and losing over 100 lbs of excess weight from gastric bypass surgery, she was left with a stomach that looked deflated with loose, wrinkled skin that overhung her pants and clothing. She was uncomfortable in her body, and like many Austin, Texas area women looking for mommy makeover and post-bariatric weight loss surgery body contouring she decided to make an appointment with the doctors to see what options were available for rejuvenation of her abdomen.

During her consultation, the doctor pointed out that an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck was the best method to rid her of excess fat and skin while still tightening the lax muscles underneath. Since she had so much skin to remove, he recommended an advanced type of tummy tuck called a fleur-de-lis” abdominoplasty, also known as a FDL tummy tuck.  This type of surgery adds a vertical incision for patients who need a great deal of extra skin removed in order to restore their hips and curves. It tightens the hips and waistline unlike any other operation.

In surgery, the doctor transformed her stomach by removing several pounds of extra skin and fat. He pulled her remaining skin tight and reshaped her belly button so that it was smaller and more attractive. The result was a dramatic improvement in both abdominal skin and muscle tone.

When she returned for her final follow-up photos she was excited that her clothing options had completely improved, and while a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty does require more scars, she felt the dramatic effect it had on reshaping her body was well worth the additional incisions.
