Tummy Tuck | Case Details
This very happy lady is 6 months out from a Tummy Tuck with 360 Liposuction. It's important to emphasize that whenever a patient presents with loose skin, an excision procedure is necessary. This result can NOT be obtained with a Brazilian Buttock Lift (aka BBL) because the excess skin in the abdomen needs to be excised with a Tummy Tuck. The front and back views, especially, show how a Tummy Tuck with careful Liposuction can "snatch" the waist... The goal on a Tummy Tuck, especially when combined with 360 Liposuction, is to provide a slimmer waistline, create a natural belly button, and to always hide the incision below the underwear line.

Umbilical Translocation: No
Abdominal Wall Plication: Above & Below Umbilicus
Concomitant hernia repair: None
