Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 324

This patient, pictured above, sought a flatter abdomen and more defined waistline following three C-sections. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, she noticed persistent abdominal fullness and changes in her waist that did not respond to diet and exercise. Her primary motivation for choosing a tummy tuck in San Antonio was to improve core contour and remove excess skin formed after childbirth.

She underwent an abdominoplasty, sometimes referred to as a tummy tuck, along with targeted liposuction to the hips and flanks. This combination approach aimed to address both excess abdominal skin and bothersome fat deposits on the sides. The patient tolerated the procedures well and experienced a recovery period typical for these surgeries, including rest, limited activity, and follow-up care.

Postoperatively, her photos illustrate clear improvement in lower abdominal contour and waist definition. She reports satisfaction with her results and feels encouraged to continue her active lifestyle. Her surgical plan centered on realistic expectations and long-term outcomes.
