Abdominoplasty Gallery

A 37 yo woman who underwent gastric bypass in 2005 and has lost over 100 lbs shown before and 5 months after an extended abdominoplasty. Her case is made more difficult because she had undergone a previous gall bladder removal through an incision in her right upper abdomen, and this scar can sometimes complicate the blood supply. Her preoperative height and weight are 5’5″ and 173 lbs. She has maintained this stable weight for 2 years.

46 yo female with one child. 5’2″ and 179 lbs shown before and 5 months after an extended abdominoplasty. An extended abdominoplasty fits in between a standard abdominoplasty and a lower body lift. When a patient has enough laxity on the sides, a standard abdominoplasty leaves excess skin along the flanks. A lower body lift continues the incision completely around the trunk. An extended abdominoplasty “extends” the incision further posteriorly without the added time and expense of a lower body lift. An excision of additional skin along the flanks and back can always be added later, but many patients can meet their goals without this additional surgery. The scars shown at 5 months will typically continue to diminish and fade for up to 2 years.
