Revision Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 2695

This patient came to Dr. David Stoker after a previous tummy tuck, performed out of state, left her with a high transverse scar that could not be concealed beneath a small bikini. She had also lost 55 pounds, and the before photos show substantial skin laxity across the abdomen, most visible when the skin is compressed. The scar's position, combined with that remaining looseness, were the two central concerns driving her revision.

For anyone researching a revision tummy tuck in Los Angeles, this case shows what the procedure can address when a prior abdominoplasty leaves a poorly placed scar alongside significant residual skin laxity. Dr. Stoker's plan centered on a single incision positioned low enough to sit beneath a small bikini, while smoothing the abdominal contour.

The after photos were taken 10 days following surgery. At that point, the abdomen appears markedly flatter and smoother relative to the before photos, and the incision sits lower than the original scar. The mons pubis area also shows a tighter contour compared to the before photos.
