36 year old woman treated with Mini Tummy Tuck

36 year old mother of 1 who was very dissatisfied with her lower abdominal bulge and had moderate muscle separation, minimal skin excess, and an umbilical hernia. She was unable to improve her abdominal contour with rigorous exercise and had pain due to her hernia. She sought consultation for cosmetic and functional improvement of her lower abdomen. With her unique anatomy (minimal skin excess, good muscular tone, belly button highly placed on the abdominal wall) she was an excellent candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck. Her abdominal muscles were pulled together, her umbilical hernia was repaired and a small portion of the lower abdominal skin was removed, tightening and contouring her abdomen. She was back to a light exercise routine in 2.5 weeks and back to her pre-procedure exercise program 6 weeks after her procedure.
