Mini Abdominoplasty 02

Description:

48 yr. old 5’4” 123 lb. had 2 C-section scars from childbirths.

She elected a “mini” abdominoplasty or “mini-tuck” that removed some skin and fat from the lower abdomen (about half of the amount that would be removed during a full abdominoplasty). This provides some tightening of the abdomen skin but also allows for aggressive abdominal liposuction at the same surgery.

Mini-abdominoplasty specimen 305 gms + abdominal liposuction 175 cc.

34A and had undergone 2 R breast biopsies reducing R breast volume. Breast Augmentation was also performed at the same surgery: periareolar, sub pectoralis, patient chose 270 cc smooth round saline implants filled to 270 cc on the left and 300 cc on the right to improve symmetry.

Post op photos 5.5 months after surgery

After photos were taken just before a touch-up surgery. Patient had a persistent fluid cavity after the mini-abdominoplasty despite multiple aspirations. To improve the slight (2 tablespoon sized) but troubling contour irregularity excision was performed via the original incision 10 months after initial procedure. She used this surgery session to do upper and lower eyelid surgery to give a more rested look. Facial photographs were kept off the internet as she wished.
