Revision Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 2694

This patient, a 58-year-old who had lost 55 lbs., came to Dr. David Stoker carrying significant skin laxity across her abdomen and a high transverse scar from a prior tummy tuck performed out of state. That scar sat too high to be concealed by a bikini. The before photos show the extent of the laxity, including the degree of excess skin visible when the abdomen is engaged.

For anyone researching revision tummy tuck in Los Angeles, this case illustrates a common concern: a previous abdominoplasty scar placed too high on the torso. Dr. Stoker's goal was to create a single incision positioned low enough to fall within a small bikini line while smoothing the abdominal contour.

The after photos, taken 10 days after surgery, show a notably flatter and smoother abdominal profile compared to the before images. The incision placement sits lower than the original scar. The mons pubis area also shows visible improvement, though that region is not displayed in the gallery images.

At 10 days post-surgery, swelling and early healing are expected, and these photos represent that early timepoint. The visible change in contour and scar position at this stage reflects the scope of what was addressed.
