Abdominoplasty – Patient 163

A mother of 3 ( including twins) in her early 40’s who is bothered by bulging and loose skin of her abdomen. She would like to be comfortable wearing fitted clothing. She is 4’10” and 124 lbs and is shown before and again, 4 ½ months after an extended abdominoplasty. She has severe stretching of the abdominal wall from her pregnancies and her umbilicus is deviated to her right. An attempt was made to bring it closer to the midline with the tightening of the muscle wall but it remains deviated to the right. Despite this, she has had an excellent correction of her abdominal contour and loves being able to wear fitted clothes and t shirts now.

Update: Our patient is now seen at 8 months. All swelling has resolved and the scars continue to fade and improve.
