Tummy Tuck Case

Details for Case #5236

This 43-year-old woman wanted a “body makeover,” so she began to research highly qualified plastic surgeons in her area. She was attracted by the credentials and experience of the surgeons at Marina Plastic Surgery, so she scheduled a consultation where she explained her desire to transform her appearance and achieve a more flattering shape. Specifically, she was interested in combined procedures that include Beverly Hills area tummy tucks and liposuction.

During her consultation, she and her surgeon planned a two-stage procedure that would include a first surgery for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and a second surgery where power-assisted liposuction would be used to remove fat from the back, hips, flanks, bra area, and inner thighs. While most patients receive combination procedures within one surgery session, in certain circumstances it is best to separate them to ensure results that will complement the patient’s body as well as possible.

This woman has seen very pleasing results from her two-stage body contouring procedures. The noticeable bulge on her lower abdomen has been flattened through her tummy tuck, and as a result of both her Beverly Hills area abdominoplasty and her liposuction, her waist appears smaller, smoother, and much more shapely. She is very happy that the final results not only balance well with the look of her body overall but it also looks very natural.
