Tummy Tuck Case 138

After losing 300 pounds, this patient experienced significant excess skin around her abdomen and lower torso. She described this loose skin as physically uncomfortable and, at times, a barrier to enjoying daily activities. Volunteering and staying active with her family became challenging, and she found it difficult to fit comfortably in clothes and exercise without restriction. Her main goals centered around improving comfort and mobility as she continued to embrace a healthier lifestyle.

We discussed a combined surgical approach to address her concerns, including a circumferential body lift and an inverted T tummy tuck. Having a Circumferential Body Lift in Downers Grove allowed her to remove the redundant skin from her midsection, hips, and lower back. The inverted T abdominoplasty refined the abdominal contour, providing a flatter appearance and restoring core strength. Following recovery, she reported fitting into jeans more easily and moving with greater freedom.

My patients often seek solutions after major weight loss to support their ongoing well-being. I strive to guide them through the options, focusing on functional benefits as much as appearance. At Midwest Plastic Surgery Institute, I use the latest techniques to achieve safe, reliable outcomes tailored to each individual’s needs.
