This 41-year-old woman presented to my office to discuss abdominoplasty six years after childbirth. She confirmed that she had completed her family planning and was seeking improvement in the appearance of her abdomen. At her preoperative evaluation, she stood 5'1" and weighed 160 pounds. We developed a surgical plan to remove excess skin and soft tissue below the umbilicus with an abdominoplasty, complemented by abdominal liposuction to further enhance her contour. She was extremely pleased with her results and the improvement in her abdominal appearance.
