Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Before & After Case 481

This patient pursued an abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, to address significant skin excess and contour changes after weight loss. She elected to undergo a fleur de lis tummy tuck, which involves both horizontal and vertical incisions to allow for the removal of excess skin in multiple directions. The visible vertical scar is a characteristic feature of this more extensive technique and was necessary to achieve her goals for improved abdominal contour.

Her surgical experience was planned and discussed in detail with Dr. Christopher J. Davidson, who explained the expected scars and the functional and aesthetic benefits of the fleur de lis approach. The recovery period proceeded without complication, and the patient followed all post-operative guidelines. Her results demonstrate a marked improvement in both abdominal shape and comfort, with a significant reduction in overhanging skin and related discomfort.
