Before & After Abdominoplasty
PATIENT DETAILS
This 31-year-old woman developed a protuberant abdomen following the birth of a child. Despite adherence to an intense fitness program, the patient was unable to diminish the size of her protuberant tummy. On examination, she was found to have a wide separation of her rectus abdominis muscles with only a mild amount of skin excess. An abdominoplasty was proposed to repair her diastasis recti. Abdominoplasty was performed with the following notables:
- outpatient surgery
- general anesthesia
- repair of a wide abdominal rectus diastasis
- drains were not used
- abdominal binder was worn for 6 weeks following surgery
The photographic follow-up was obtained before and 11 months after surgery.
