Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Case 136

This patient elected to undergo a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Boston to address abdominal laxity following pregnancy. She noted persistent excess skin and muscle separation that did not improve with diet and exercise. The patient also reported a bulge associated with a ventral hernia, which contributed to her abdominal contour concerns.

During her procedure, this patient received an extended abdominoplasty combined with umbilical hernia repair. This comprehensive approach was designed to restore the abdominal wall's integrity and appearance in one operative session. As part of her treatment plan, the neoumbilicus—her new belly button—was created in a delayed fashion. 

Her post-operative course proceeded without complication. She experienced restoration of a firmer, more contoured abdominal area, as depicted in the above before and after photos. The ventral hernia was also successfully repaired during the same operation, reducing the need for additional surgeries.
