Patient Case #21183

This 43-year-old patient underwent an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) performed by Dr. Silverman. Four months after surgery, her before-and-after photos demonstrate the early results of her procedure.

Following pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and a previous C-section, the patient experienced significant abdominal skin laxity, a lower abdominal shelf, and diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscles. These concerns had been present for more than 10 years and had not improved with diet and exercise.

At four months post-op, the photographs demonstrate a smoother and more defined abdominal contour, with improvement in excess skin and the lower abdominal area. As healing continues, the scars will mature and soften over time.
