Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 508

This patient came to Ablavsky Plastic Surgery with excess abdominal skin, fullness along the waistline, and laxity in the midsection visible across the before photos. The abdomen showed a pronounced forward projection from the front and side, with redundant skin below the navel and fullness extending into the flanks and back.

Dr. Michael Ablavsky, MD performed an abdominoplasty that included skin removal and tightening of the muscle and fascia, combined with liposuction of the back, braline, and waistline. The combined approach addressed both the central abdomen and the surrounding contour in a single procedure.

For those researching a tummy tuck in San Antonio, this case illustrates what the procedure can address when excess skin, muscle laxity, and surrounding fullness are all present. Here, the after photos show a markedly flatter abdominal profile, a narrower waistline from both the front and oblique views, and reduced fullness through the flanks and back compared to the before images.

The side-view photos reflect the most pronounced change in projection. The abdomen sits noticeably closer to a straight line from the lower chest to the hip, and the waist carries a more defined curve from the front and three-quarter angles.
