Tummy Tuck

This 48 year old woman is 5' 9 and 160 pounds. She has had one child via C-section. She had pre-eclampsia during her pregnancy and gained a significant amount of weight. She has lost the weight but this has left her with a lot of loose skin. We began her mommy make over with an abdominoplasty, (tummy tuck), and liposuction to the flanks, (love handles). Her results are shown after just two months.

This woman in her late thirties working towards her goal weight came to discuss her body contouring options with Dr. Howell.  She decided on a tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks and breast symmetry surgery but needed to be closer to her goal weight before surgery. After surpassing her goal weight, they proceeded with surgery.  A left breast lift and right breast reduction worked to balance her breast size and shape.  Looking great, she is pictured before and four months afterwards.

Woman treated with Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck

This patient was in her late 40s and wanted to improve the appearance of her abdomen.  She had had previous abdominal surgery through a vertical abdominal incision and was unhappy with the appearance of the abdomen and the flanks.  Because of her contour as well as the previous vertical abdominal incision, we chose to proceed with a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks, which means that in addition to the low horizontal scar she also had the vertical scar.  For her, it improved the appearance of the vertical scar that she previously had and also helped with her overall shape and contour.  She is shown before and 4 years after her surgery, which was performed by Dr. Hampton Howell.

Our patient is a 24-year-old Hispanic male who weighed 134 lbs at the time of surgery. He felt frustrated by excess abdominal skin after weight loss achieved through diet and exercise. Dr. Timothy Katzen recommended a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, to remove excess skin and create a flatter, firmer abdomen. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen designed a low incision intended to sit beneath underwear lines whenever possible, then carefully removed the stretched skin that was hanging and wrinkling across the lower abdomen. When needed, he tightened the abdominal wall by bringing the separated or weakened muscles back toward the center to improve core support and reduce forward bulging. The remaining skin was recontoured to achieve a smoother surface, and the navel was repositioned to achieve a natural appearance that matches the new shape. Internal layered sutures were used to support closure and promote clean scar healing, and drains and compression are often used short-term to control swelling and fluid accumulation. These photos were taken 3 months after surgery, and his results are already remarkable, showing a more defined waistline, reduced lower-abdominal laxity, and a tighter, athletic silhouette that should continue to refine as swelling subsides. He was advised on drain care and scar management, and on a gradual return to workouts, to protect the incision and muscle repair, since swelling and firmness can continue to improve for several more months.

Male Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty After Weight Loss for a Flatter Midsection

Our patient is a 54-year-old Asian female who came to Dr. Timothy Katzen seeking a flatter, smoother abdomen after struggling with excess abdominal skin and fat that would not improve on its own. She wanted a body transformation that would help her midsection look more refined and better proportioned. To address these concerns, Dr. Katzen performed a tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, under general anesthesia. This procedure is designed to remove loose abdominal skin, reduce excess fatty tissue, and tighten the abdominal contour for a firmer overall appearance. During surgery, Dr. Katzen carefully made a low abdominal incision so the resulting scar could sit as discreetly as possible. He then lifted the abdominal skin, removed the excess tissue, and reshaped the remaining skin so it could be re-draped smoothly across the stomach. When appropriate, the abdominal wall can also be tightened to improve the overall contour and help create a flatter profile. The belly button is then positioned to match the new abdominal shape in a natural-looking way. The incision is closed in layers to support healing and minimize tension on the skin. These photos were taken just 10 days after surgery, so the wounds are still fresh, and early swelling is expected, yet her results are already visible and remarkable. Even at this early stage, her abdomen appears noticeably flatter, smoother, and more sculpted, with continued improvement expected as healing progresses.
