Tummy Tuck to Improve Contour in Tucson, AZ*

This is a 69 year old female who came to Rao Plastic and Hand Surgery to discuss an abdominoplasty/tummy tuck. She was looking to improve the appearance and contour of her abdomen. She was unhappy with the fullness and contour of her abdomen and back as well as the excess skin of her stomach area. After discussing the options with her, I felt that she would be a good candidate for an abdominoplasty, which would successfully achieve her specific aesthetic goals. I believed that having liposuction as an adjacent to the tummy tuck was not necessary in this specific case and it would make for a more difficult recovery- she agreed. We also discussed in her initial consultation that she did not have prior surgery, any hernias, and was not pregnant, so we continued on to schedule her for surgery. I performed an abdominoplasty on her stomach area at a surgery center in Tucson. The surgery went smoothly, the excess fat was removed from her stomach, and the contour of her abdomen looked fantastic. Her surgery was almost 4 months ago, her post-op journey has been great, and she is very happy with her results.
