This 35–44-year-old patient, a single mother of two young children, experienced an incredible 110-pound weight loss following gastric sleeve surgery. After her weight loss, she was left with excess abdominal skin, weakened core muscles, and a lower abdominal overhang—common challenges after significant weight loss and pregnancy. Her goal was to restore a smooth, flat abdomen that matched her hard-earned transformation. Dr. William Vinyard performed a comprehensive extended abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) combined with rectus muscle plication (muscle repair) to correct diastasis recti, umbilicoplasty to create a natural belly button, and a mons pubis lift to refine the lower abdominal contour. This post-weight loss abdominal makeover highlights the life-changing results that post-bariatric body contouring can achieve. The patient’s flatter, tighter, and more sculpted midsection not only reflects her weight loss success but also restores her confidence, allowing her to fully embrace her new silhouette.
