This is a 24 year-old woman living in Tucson, AZ that had set up a consultation with Rao Plastic Surgery to discuss body contouring options. She worked out religiously and was careful about what she ate, but she still had stubborn areas of fat on her abdomen and flanks that she could not improve upon. She had not had children and no prior abdominal surgeries. During her initial consultation she had areas of fat deposits in her abdomen and flanks. She had good skin quality with no stretch marks. We discussed her options for body contouring. I explained that since she did not have excess skin and she was still planning on having children then I did not feel that she was a candidate for a tummy tuck. Based on her aesthetic goals I felt liposuction would best achieve the results she was looking for. She underwent 360 degree liposuction of her abdomen, flanks, and back at an outpatient surgery center in Tucson, AZ. She tolerated the procedure well and was discharged home the same day. Her postoperative course was uneventful. She is now four months out from her surgery and loves how her figure better reflects her dedication to diet and exercise.
