Tummy tuck + waist liposuction after childbearing

Returning to a fit, toned appearance

After her children were grown, this mother in her 50s wanted to regain the fit, toned appearance she associated with her body before pregnancy. Her treatment with Dr. Darren Smith focused on the abdomen and the contour around the midsection.

What does Lipo 360 add to a tummy tuck?

Her plan combined abdominoplasty with rectus muscle plication and Lipo 360, including liposuction of the waist and back. A tummy tuck addresses abdominal skin and contour, while Lipo 360 treats localized fat around the torso. These procedures approach different contributors to the shape of the midsection.

Considering the front of the abdomen together with the surrounding waist allows the treatment plan to address overall proportions. For this patient, the combination was selected around her goal of a more defined, toned-looking torso after pregnancy.

Her before-and-after comparison
