It is quite common for women to present in our office who have lower abdominal laxity as well as localized deposits of fat around the abdomen. Often these women do not wish to undergo a full abdominoplasty and would rather keep their scars to a minimum.
Often patients may have a prior cesarean section scar that can be used to gain access to the lower abdominal muscles that need to be tightened. Often these scars can be revised at the same time that the lower abdominal muscles are tightened.
Liposuction can commonly be performed at the same time that the lower abdominal muscles are tightened to remove fat from the upper abdomen, the flanks, the lower back, and bra fat.
The photograph above demonstrates before and after photographs of a patient after “mini-tummy tuck” and liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and bra fat.
