Female, 60s
Goals: This active patient in her 60s had always wanted a better-defined waistline and flatter abdomen. She wanted her clothing to fit more comfortably and to have a body contour that better reflected how active and youthful she felt.
Procedure: A full tummy tuck with abdominal muscle repair was combined with liposuction of the waist and torso. Excess abdominal skin was removed while the muscle repair and targeted liposuction were used together to reshape the abdomen and create greater definition between the waist and hips.
Outcome: She is very happy with her new shape and especially enjoys being able to wear the clothing she wants with greater comfort and ease. She feels that her body now better reflects how she feels, active, confident, and youthful.
Key Principle: Body contouring is about more than creating a flat abdomen. Comparing the relationship between the hips and waist in the before and after photographs demonstrates how changing these proportions can reshape the entire torso. In this patient, muscle repair, skin removal, and targeted liposuction worked together to create a narrower waist and a more balanced, feminine silhouette.
