Power Assisted Liposuction 14

This patient is a 42 year old female from Phoenix, Arizona who presented to my Paradise Valley, Arizona area medical practice with interest in a scar revision from an abdominal exploration she had as a child.  She wished to have a smoother, flatter abdomen with a more contoured waistline.

On examination the patient was noted to have a large transverse scar on her right lower abdomen.  Luckily, the scar was low enough that I felt I could remove it by performing a tummy tuck.  I also recommended liposuction of the flanks to help with the overall contouring of the abdomen.

In surgery, I performed a full abdominoplasty which allowed me to completely remove the patients old scar and tighten the abdominal wall.  I also performed liposuction of the love handles through the tummy tuck incision.

After surgery the patient recovered very well.  She was extremely happy with her appearance and had a significant boost in her self-confidence.
