Revision Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 2472

This female patient's before photo shows loose, crepey skin across the lower abdomen, with a soft roll of laxity settling above the waistline and a stretched, elongated belly button. Skin that has lost its tone in this way does not firm up with diet or exercise, since the underlying elasticity is gone. A tummy tuck restores a smooth abdominal contour by removing the excess skin and tightening what remains.

Dr. David Stoker, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Marina del Rey, performed her abdominoplasty to flatten the lower abdomen and refine the overall contour. The after photo shows noticeably tighter skin, a flatter abdominal profile, and a belly button restored to a small, natural shape, one of the details that most reliably signals a well-executed tummy tuck. The incision is positioned low along the bikini line so it stays concealed beneath clothing and swimwear.

The result is a firmer, smoother midsection that sits in better balance with her frame. Each patient is unique, and individual results may vary. Female patients considering a tummy tuck in Los Angeles can request a consultation with Dr. Stoker to discuss an individualized surgical plan.
