Abdominoplasty Before After #03

PATIENT DETAILS

• short overnight inpatient surgery
• general anesthesia
• transverse ellipse of skin excised (863g) 
• repair of a modest abdominal rectus diastasis
• drains were used
• abdominal binder was worn for 6 weeks following surgery  

The photographic follow-up was obtained before and 3 years after surgery.
