360° Tummy Tuck with Liposuction

After multiple pregnancies and significant weight loss, this patient was left with extra skin that wrapped around towards her backside. She was a candidate for a circumferential tummy tuck, which involves an incision that extends to the posterior trunk in order to get rid of the excess skin in the area most commonly referred to as the “love handles.”

In the proper 360° Tummy Tuck with Liposuction

After multiple pregnancies and significant weight loss, this patient was left with extra skin that wrapped around towards her backside. She was a candidate for a circumferential tummy tuck, which involves an incision that extends to the posterior trunk in order to get rid of the excess skin in the area most commonly referred to as the “love handles.”

In the proper candidate, this procedure can be very powerful in completely transforming one’s trunk and body shape, as demonstrated by the posterior view.

What defines a natural-appearing belly button:
✅ Oval shape
✅ Depth
✅ Not too small, not too big
✅ Superior hooding
✅ Incisions concealed in internal shadows

This procedure is performed as an outpatient surgery, with typically a 4 wk recovery, 2 wks off work, and 4-6 months until final result.

Breast Lift/Reduction and Tummy Tuck - 1 yr result

The patient was bothered by her breast asymmetry and large size, along with the excess skin and fat in her belly. She underwent a breast lift with reduction (R > L), liposuction with a tummy tuck and muscle repair of her wide recti. When these breast and tummy procedures are combined, they are commonly referred to as a “mommy makeover.”

These procedures are performed as an outpatient surgery, with typically a 4-6 wk recovery, 2 wks off work, and 4-6 months until final result.

Breast Lift/Reduction

This young patient was troubled by chronic neck and upper back pain because of the heaviness of her breast. She had difficulty exercising and doing certain activities, along with finding clothes that fit properly. She underwent a breast reduction with immediate relief of her symptoms. She is now able to be more physically active and fit in clothes better!

Her incisions will continue to fade over the next 6 months. Breast lift/reduction is performed as an outpatient surgery, with typically a 4 wk recovery, 1-2 wks off work, and 4-6 months until final result.

Patient Safety in Plastic Surgery. Recently, news was released of a TikTok influencer that underwent a tummy tuck in Cincinnati; post-operatively she sustained complications that sadly resulted in her death. I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss the immense importance of patient safety, from selecting the proper patients to undergoing surgery by a board-certified plastic surgeon at an accredited facility, under the care of a board certified anesthesiologist
