This 31 year old professional was unhappy with the results of the exercise and
diet program she was following. She felt she was beginning to "look like
mother." She wanted help with the abdomen, love handles, and mid thighs.
These photos were taken three months after she had liposuction of these
three areas, totaling 6.8 L (a gallon and a half). Notice not only the areas
that received surgical treatments. The lower legs look better too, because
of the motivation to change her live style.
This 36 yo mother of two was unhappy with the results of the exercise and
diet program she was following. She wanted help with the abdomen, love
handles, and lateral thighs.
These photos were taken two years after her liposuction of these three areas
, totaling 4.7L (a gallon and a pint). Notice not only the area that
received surgical treatments. The motivation from the surgery started a very
successful life support, with great results.
This 38 year old weight lifter wanted to have smaller love handles. There
are his photo's after 2.1 L (1/2 gallon) liposuction of his flanks. These are his photo's...
This 48 y/o mother of two takes care of herself by walking one mile per day and eating a healthy low-fat diet. Her goal was to have a smoother tummy and sides, but she did not expect to go down one whole pant size.
Here she is shown 4 weeks after her liposuction that removed 1 liter (1 qt.) of her abdomen and flanks. Note the mild bruising still visible at one month.
These are the pre op photos of a 43 y/o woman with no pregnancies, who always complained of wide hips, a small potbelly and large posterior hips. She was unable to exercise to get these areas to her liking.
Three weeks after her liposuction that removed 3.2 liters (3/4 gallon) of fat from her thighs, hips and abdomen. She said she took pain medication for only 2 days and wanted her photographs to be "put in [my] book.” Please note her healthy scars from the entry points.
These are the photos after 3,300 cc of fat was aspirated from her medial and lateral thighs. She is so happy that she now shows off in a bathing suit, and is comfortable in intimate situations with her fianceé.
This 43 y/o woman was never pregnant. She was a home health administrator, did little exercise and had no willpower to change her eating habits. She wanted a more attractive abdomen, and slimmer thighs both on the inside and outside.
Here she is after a tummy tuck and liposuction of a 1/2 quart of fat from her abdomen. At a second surgery, she has had a two quart (1,900 cc) liposuction of the medial and lateral thighs. The photos were taken one month after the thigh liposuction. She was so proud, she requested to have her photos displayed here.
This 38 y/o woman saw me eight years ago. Since the possibility of more children was an issue at that time, I recommended that she have all her children then fix up the damage. After having her children, that damage consisted of loosely separated rectus abdominis muscles, an extra layer of fat, and loose redundant skin.
Four months after a tummy tuck with suturing of the abs muscles together. When I asked her for permission to use her photos, she said, “Yes, you may. Now I am a poster child for a tummy tuck. I feel beautiful. This surgery changed my life.”
This was a 31 y/o mother of three, the youngest was 2-1/2 y/o at the time. She exercised 4-5 times a week and still couldn’t control her abdomen. So she got on the internet, did some research, and came for consultation. Her concerns included: 1) her feelings of self-consciousness were increasing due to flabbiness; 2) she was worried about the seriousness of surgery; 3) when could she resume normal activities like lifting; and 4) what would happen if she got blood clots after surgery. She had done her homework!
These are her pre-op photos. First note the severe laxity of her abdominal fascia below the bellybutton, due to child bearing. Also note the stretch marks, the small amount of fat, and the moderate amount of extra skin below her belly button.
There are the post-op photos at 4 weeks and 7 weeks after surgery.
The abdomen is flatter but still swollen even at 7 weeks, the scars are improving but the redness & swelling are normal for this soon after surgery. The redness will improve for up to a year, swelling takes about 3 months to go away.
This 33 y/o mother of two wanted larger breasts. She liked the shape but wanted to be a large C. We noted some pre-operation asymmetry and decided to correct the smaller right breast with a 360 cc implant while using only a 330 cc implant on the left.
She was also unhappy with the shape of her C-Section scar and fat pockets as marked.
The “before” pictures are in the left and the “afters” are three months later in the right column.
This 38 y/o administrator had four pregnancies and then a hysterectomy. The hormones caused a 15-pound gain, which she lost with hard exercise. Now she wants a tummy tuck. Note her old appendectomy scar.
Four and a half months after a tummy tuck, the flab is gone. She is happy in bikini and the scars are fading.
58 y/o mother of two grown children who exercises every other day and realized she cannot get a flat stomach. Note the appendectomy scar. The vertical black line (in the left column pictures) is the site of the future scar from the skin around the belly button as the abdominal skin moves down. The "befores" are in the left column.
Here she is after tightening her tummy muscles and removing the extra skin. Note the old appendectomy scar is gone and even bending over, her tummy is tighter. She says she did not go down in clothing size, but the clothes fit much better and "it's definitely worth the pain."
46 y/o office worker with two grown children. She had lost 30 lbs and still was not happy with her appearance of her "pooch."
In the pre-op photos, notice the hooding of the skin over the belly button.
Notice in the the post-op photos the improvement in the loose skin and the smaller waist due to tightening the abdominal muscles.
This 33 y/o mother of two had a breast augmentation four months ago. Now she wants to shape her abdomen and thin her thighs with liposuction for the areas that exercise will not work off.
These are her photos six weeks after her 1600cc (1 ½ quart liposuction) of the outlined areas.
