Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Before & After Case 26

Hooray for moms. Thank goodness I did not need to carry children (this is Dr. Davidson writing..) Since if I did I would not have even had one, let alone three children.. I acknowledge, men are the weaker species..

This 40 year-old woman from Newton carried two pregnancies with two large babies. And yep- she was left with extra skin and stretch marks. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for this other than a tummy tuck. Liposuction alone, which is less invasive and has a shorter recovery as compared to a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), would only worsen her appearance. 

But here is the big "but" - after a tummy tuck this patient has confidently gone on vacation wearing a bikini for the first time in years- and looked better than many of those young ladies who had never even had children! You go girl!
