Moderate Abdominoplasty - High Lateral Tension Type - Tummy Tuck - by Orange County California Plastic Surgeon John Di Saia MD

Before Surgery	*High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty*
	4 Months Following Surgery
This woman had had several pregnancies including a twin childbirth that left a moderate amount of loose skin hanging along the abdominal wall. The abdominal muscular envelope was lax to the touch. The pregnancies and surgery had occurred several years prior. At 4 months following surgery, the wound healing is in a mid-point. The scar is easily covered in her undergarments. OPERATIVE STATISTICS: Before: Abdominal Fatty Deposits With Muscular Laxity And Skin Excess After: Improved Abdominal Contour Operative Design: A High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty design was utilized. The "excess" skin and fat was removed and the abdominal muscles were "tightened" in three regions. An Umbilicoplasty was performed to provide a natural depression above and below the "belly button." -This page is not Java-enabled. ©1996-2005 John Di Saia, M.D.
