Tummy Tuck with 360 Liposuction in Tucson, Arizona*

This is a 57-year-old mother who came to our office to discuss her options to address her abdomen. She was unhappy with the fullness of her abdomen, back, and flanks as well as the excess skin of her stomach area. She had not had any prior surgery on her abdomen and had no umbilical hernias. After discussing with her, I felt that she would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction. I would perform power-assisted liposuction to the abdomen, back, and flanks to improve the contour and narrow the waistline. We discussed the procedure and I explained that as the uterus becomes enlarged with pregnancy, the muscles of the abdomen become weakened and stretch to accommodate the increased size of the uterus. I would tighten these muscles in surgery to flatten her stomach and further narrow the waistline. She underwent surgery at a surgery center in Tucson, Arizona. The rectus muscles were tightened, and 360-degree liposuction was performed on the abdomen, back, and flanks via power-assisted liposuction. She is now just over five months out from her surgery and is very happy with her results.
