Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 2133

This patient is a 55-year-old woman who sought a revision tummy tuck in Los Angeles after previously losing nearly 100 pounds. Her initial tummy tuck procedure had improved her body contour, but did not fully meet her expectations. Motivated to achieve a smoother result and a more natural appearance for her abdomen, she elected to undergo a redo surgery to address her remaining concerns.

The procedure focused on improving the shape of her abdomen and the appearance of her belly button. During the revision, Dr. David Stoker utilized a technique that allowed the surgical scar to remain low, while addressing the upper abdominal skin with a short vertical incision. This approach helped preserve a natural look while minimizing visible scarring. Early results at two weeks post surgery already revealed a notable improvement in abdominal contour and belly button appearance.

In addition to showcasing her healing process, this patient created a video to document her recovery and share her experience with others who may be considering a similar path. She highlighted the importance of setting clear goals and the value of open communication with her surgical team throughout the process.
