This case features a healthy and active 37-year-old woman (5'8", 147 pounds) who was dissatisfied with the appearance of her abdomen. After having two children and losing 20 pounds, she experienced muscle separation and skin laxity with stretch marks. Despite her efforts with diet and exercise, these concerns persisted. She elected to undergo a complete tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), which included muscle repair and excess skin removal. She was very pleased with her final results. The after photos, taken five months post-surgery, highlight the transformation of her abdomen.
