Abdominoplasty #32049

It is very common after pregnancy and weight loss to have excess abdominal skin.  This lady came in for abdominoplasty and I like these photos as they demonstrate what can be achieved in a patient with a slightly elevated BMI.  At 208lbs preoperatively I am not going to be able to deliver a completely flat tummy tuck.   Limitations on blood supply and safety for healing limit what a surgeon can do.  I always ask patients to lose as much weight as they can prior to surgery so that together we can get the best result.  She has a very nice result 2 months postoperatively.
