Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 119

After losing 175 pounds from gastric bypass surgery, this 43-year-old woman wanted to remove excess fat and skin on her stomach. She met with Dr. Stoker, and they decided together that a tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) would complement her gastric bypass surgery nicely.

Gaining and losing 175 pounds stretched her skin, which lost much of its elasticity. Dr. Stoker smoothed the texture and proportions of her stomach and removed excess fat and skin to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. 

She is pleased with the results of her tummy tuck, saying her quality of life has improved substantially. She now can do activities she once couldn't and feels more confident in her body overall.
