3 Months Post-Tummy Tuck Progress ✨
This patient is just 12 weeks out from her tummy tuck with muscle repair and already seeing a dramatic difference in her waistline, posture, and confidence.
At this stage, swelling is still going down, but her core is stronger and the contour is flatter and more defined. Muscle plication helped close abdominal separation (diastasis recti), and the removal of excess skin gave her a tighter, smoother silhouette.
Recovery is a process, but results like this at 3 months are a strong sign of what’s to come. Final results continue to improve for up to a year!
Performed by Dr. Robert Kratschmer, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in Houston, TX.
