Our Exciting Results
This patient is shown here six months after a tummy tuck. The patient had two pregnancies which resulted in loose skin, stretch marks, and separated abdominal muscles. Dr. Repta's tummy tuck procedure was able to reverse the effects of pregnancy. This excellent example also shows that a good incision can be achieved even for patients who may be at risk for thicker scars.
This before and after example shows the importance of proper tummy tuck design to narrow the waist and create a more hourglass shape. She is shown four months after her tummy tuck procedure. A standard tummy tuck would have likely left her with a boxy waist appearance. With Dr. Repta's tummy tuck procedure, her waist was contoured with liposuctioned, narrowed further with muscle repair, and skin removal was performed in a way that highlighted the narrowing process.
Age is but a number. This patient is in her late sixties. Having had multiple children who are now grown up she decided to invest in herself and get a tummy tuck. She is shown here three months after her tummy tuck procedure that removed the loose skin, tightened her abdominal muscles, and shaped her waist. The incision is hidden well within her underwear line and the belly button looks natural.
This medical professional sought Dr. Repta for a tummy tuck after having several children. Her primary concern was looking artificial. This can occur just as easily for thin patients where skin is removed but the waist is left boxy or there is bulging above the belly button. She is shown here six months after her tummy tuck that gave her a natural and rejuvenated result without any tell tale signs that a tummy tuck had been performed.
The importance of liposuction as a part of a well-designed tummy tuck is evident with this patient. A standard tummy tuck alone would have left her round in the center and boxy on the sides. Dr. Repta's tummy tuck for this patient included aggressive liposuction of the center of the abdomen as well as the sides of her waist to allow a more hour-glass shape.
One of the biggest concerns of getting a tummy tuck for most patients is the final incision. Concern about the shape, location, and appearance of the scar is understandable, particularly in darker skin patients. As can be seen here with this patient as well as in our other examples, a thin final incision can be achieved with proper tummy tuck design and meticulous closure.
