Body Case #4630

This 25-year-old woman came in asking for a tummy tuck. She was 5 feet 8 inches tall and 170 pounds. She had lost about 50 pounds with diet and exercise but was left wtih loose skin that she could not tighten at the gym. She found out that it is possible to tone muscle but not to tone skin by working out.

In addition to the tummy tuck, we also performed liposuction in the flank areas at our New York City practice. This gave her a better waistline and got rid of her "muffin top."

Patient Age: 25

Pregnancies: None

Motivation for Tummy Tuck:Loose skin around her torso

Tummy Tuck Technique:Full abdominoplasty

Anesthesia:Monitored Anesthesia Care (sedation)

Recovery:2 and a half weeks
