Raleigh Woman Rewards Her Good Habits with a Tummy Tuck in Raleigh, NC
This 40-year-old woman was once 260 pounds but went on Weight Watchers and began an exercise program. She lost 90 pounds in just over a year. She had loose skin and excess fat of her abdomen. She had an extended high-tension abdominoplasty to remove the excess skin and fat, repair her diastasis and also help raise and tighten her thighs a bit. The patient was now able to fit into an entirely new wardrobe and went on to lose an additional 15 pounds after surgery (not including the 6 pounds of fat and skin removed during surgery). She was thrilled with her results. Her abdominoplasty recovery took about 2 weeks before she was able to get back to some basic household activities and driving a car and about 6 weeks before she could start exercising. Dr. Lyle encourages plenty of walking and even light arm weights during the first month postop recovery but waiting about 6 weeks to start any activity in the gym.
Dr. Lyle offers various body contouring procedures for patients who have experienced significant weight loss. These procedures remove excess skin and improve body shape for a more toned and defined appearance.
