Patient Case #20876

This 45-year-old patient is shown after her full abdominoplasty, performed by Dr. Howard Silverman at Ottawa Plastic Surgery. Her procedure was designed to address abdominal contour changes, excess skin, and laxity related to pregnancy, weight fluctuation, and previous surgery.

An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, can be an excellent option for patients who are bothered by loose abdominal skin, abdominal fullness, contour irregularities, or separation of the abdominal muscles. During a full tummy tuck, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed, the abdominal contour is refined, and muscle repair may be performed when indicated to improve core support and create a smoother, flatter midsection.

Dr. Silverman creates a customized surgical plan based on each patient’s anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, surgical history, and aesthetic goals. This patient’s results demonstrate improved abdominal contour, a flatter midsection, and a more refined waistline.
