Drainless Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 209

This patient came to us seeking to address areas of loose skin and stubborn fat that had persisted despite her best efforts with diet and exercise. She wanted a smoother, more contoured midsection as well as improved definition along the hips and lower back. In consultation, we discussed her goals and determined that a Drainless Tummy Tuck, combined with targeted liposuction, would best meet her needs.

We performed liposuction to the abdomen, flanks, lower back and buttocks. Then we removed excess skin from the central and lower abdomen, hips, and buttocks using the FDL abdominoplasty approach. Her early postoperative period was manageable, and she resumed light activity within the timeframe we anticipated.

The outcome for this procedure focused on enhancing her natural shape while smoothing bulges and reducing sagging skin. As her results matured, she noted a more defined waist and lower back, as well as improved contour at the hips and buttocks. These changes matched her preoperative goals and contributed to a renewed sense of body confidence.
