Drainless Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 320

This patient came to us with lipedema, a condition that causes abnormal fat accumulation throughout the body, and underwent a series of surgeries to address symptoms affecting her whole body. For this procedure, Thomas M. Hagopian MD performed liposuction combined with an abdominoplasty, using a drainless approach.

The before photos show loose, lax abdominal skin with visible skin redundancy across the lower and mid abdomen, along with excess soft tissue fullness at the flanks and sides. In the after photos, the abdomen appears notably flatter and the waistline more defined, with a reduction in the overhang and soft tissue bulk visible from the front, side, and oblique views.

For prospective patients researching a drainless tummy tuck in Atlanta, this case illustrates how liposuction and abdominoplasty can be combined to address both excess skin and soft tissue volume in a single procedure. This patient's plan was part of a broader surgical series aimed at managing her lipedema symptoms across multiple areas of the body.
