Our Location

Woman who to choose to have abdominoplasty usually have multiple goals:

  1. the primary one is removal of excess skin and fat or abdominal pannus, and this is usually the skin below the bellybutton.
  2. Repair of stretched out muscles known as diastases recti
  3. Improve or remove previous surgical scars like hysterectomy and C-section scars and even appendectomy scars.
  4. Remove as many stretch marks as possible
  5. Have a flatter toned tummy.

Stretch marks that occur after pregnancy are known as Striae gravidarum. Early after pregnancy they can appear as reddish or purplish lines. Stretch marks cannot always be removed entirely. Those present from the umbilicus down to the pubis are typically removed with the panniculectomy portion of the abdominoplasty and those that that her above the bellybutton are now moved down lower on the abdomen to the point where they might be covered with bathing suits. Even those women that have extensive stretch marks extending into the upper abdomen will have an improved appearance of the stretch marks as the skin of the upper abdomen is pulled tight. After tummy tuck, any remaining stretch marks are decreased and are more suitable for treatment like microneedling.
Examining this Tummy Tuck Before and After Gallery shows the nice improvement in the wrinkly stretched out skin that this woman suffered from after childbearing. She even had an umbilical hernia that was repaired by Dr. Lyle.
