Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 959

This patient chose to pursue a tummy tuck to address concerns with excess abdominal tissue and muscle separation, known as rectus diastasis. Her primary goals included achieving a flatter, firmer abdominal contour. Alongside this, she wished to enhance and lift her breasts. More than a decade after an earlier breast augmentation and lift, she noticed her breasts had changed in appearance, becoming droopy and smaller than she desired.

During her consultation, the patient discussed her options for combining a tummy tuck with mastopexy and breast augmentation. Dr. Jay Xue reviewed her medical history and worked with her to develop a surgical plan tailored to her needs. The procedure included removal of excess abdominal skin, muscle repair, and placement of breast implants with a lift to address both shape and size.

Following surgery, the patient reported improved comfort and satisfaction with her appearance. Her abdomen became flatter, and her waistline was more defined. Her breasts achieved an enhanced shape and volume, with a lifted, more youthful profile. Recovery proceeded as expected, with the patient returning to daily activities as advised.
