Abdominoplasty #29570

This is an abdominoplasty case for a 40-year-old female patient weighing 108 lbs, photographed 13 months after surgery. The before photo shows significant skin laxity and redundancy across the entire abdominal wall, with pronounced wrinkling and folding of the skin. Abdominoplasty addresses excess abdominal skin by removing it and tightening the underlying muscle layer, which is particularly relevant when skin laxity extends across a broad area as it does here. At 13 months out, the after photo shows a flattened abdominal contour with the incision scar positioned low, consistent with standard abdominoplasty placement. Some residual stretch marks remain visible on the lower abdomen, which is expected at this body weight and skin type.
