This 43-year-old mother desired an improved figure. Childbirth had stretched her skin, and despite her vigorous daily workout regime, she was unable to restore the slimmer, toned look she wanted. To find out how plastic surgery after childbirth could help enhance her figure, she made an appointment at Marina Plastic Surgery. In her consultation, she explained that she was particularly interested in reshaping her abdomen and flanks, as well as improving the look of her sagging breasts.

After consulting with one of the skilled plastic surgeons at Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, this patient decided to undergo abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and liposuction of the flanks, as well as breast lift and augmentation. Most full tummy tuck procedures help flatten the abdomen in three ways – by tightening torn or overstretched abdominal muscles, tightening and trimming away loose skin, and if necessary removing fat from the abdominal area. Liposuction removes isolated fat deposits that are difficult to get rid of even with diet and exercise. At the same time, she also had a breast lift to elevate her breasts and a breast augmentation procedure using silicone implants to restore lost volume.

This patient’s “mommy makeover” has created definite improvements to her problem areas, and in the process significantly enhanced the look of her whole physique. The liposuction and abdominoplasty have given her a flatter, leaner-looking abdomen, and helped create her a smaller, more refined waist. Her body shape is slimmer, smoother, and much more flattering, and she is very happy with the results of her Los Angeles tummy tuck.
