Revision Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 2469

This patient elected for a tummy tuck in Los Angeles as part of a comprehensive body contouring procedure. Their motivation stemmed from lingering dissatisfaction with results from prior surgeries. Concerns included misaligned incisions, excess skin, and persistent creasing on her lower body. These issues affected both how she felt in clothing and her overall comfort.

For her revision, this patient underwent a circumferential lower body lift that included a tummy tuck in the front, a buttock lift in the back, and a lateral thigh lift. This approach addressed the previous incision placement. Both incisions now sit low and are more discreet, correcting earlier asymmetry. By day 10 postoperatively, notable improvements were visible: flatter abdominal contours, elimination of lower body skin creases, and a smoother thigh appearance, even with some initial swelling.

The above photos demonstrate the patient’s progress early in her recovery. Her abdomen displays improved definition, and her physique appears balanced. Sutures around the belly button are being removed at this stage, marking a transition toward long-term healing.
