Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 446

The above patient sought a tummy tuck in San Antonio after completing their family. Despite maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle, they were unable to regain their pre-pregnancy contour. Their main goals included restoring an hourglass shape and achieving a more youthful waistline that better reflected their energy and activity level.

During the procedure, Dr. Michael Ablavsky, MD, addressed the patient’s concerns by repairing diastasis recti, a common separation of abdominal muscles after childbirth. In addition, he performed liposuction to the flanks to enhance the waistline, improving overall body proportions. Recovery was straightforward, and the patient resumed their regular activities as recommended.

The after photos show a significant improvement in the patient's abdominal contour. The waistline appears more defined, and the overall silhouette better matches the patient’s goals. This reflects both the procedure and the patient’s commitment to maintaining results through healthy habits.

Dr. Ablavsky, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Antonio, ensures his patients receive a thorough consultation and clear education about all aspects of a tummy tuck. He guides patients through each step, from pre-operative planning to post-operative care, emphasizing communication and patient safety at every stage.
