Houston Woman has a tummy tuck surgery with buttock fat grafting*

Patient presented for evaluation to improve the appearance of her abdomen after pregnancies. She was unhappy with "stretched out tummy" with saggy excess skin and stretch marks. The after pictures below are two months from abdominoplasty with muscle tightening (anterior rectus fascia plication) and liposuction with fat grafting to the buttocks. She had a quick recovery, and has returned to all her lifestyle activities. PROCEDURE NOTES: Standard Abdominoplasty with anterior rectus fascia plication for diastesis (muscle separation of the midline) repair.
