This is patient in her 40s who was bothered by the excess skin and “kangaroo pouch” that she had in her lower abdomen. She underwent an tummy tuck with skin/fat excision, muscle tightening, and high definition liposuction. Up to 20 cm of the skin and fat was excised in the central aspect of her abdomen (7.9”), which weighed 842 g (1.9 pounds). The patient is wearing silicone tape over her scars, which will help the scars fade over time.

This is a patient in her 40s who lost over approximately 100 pounds after undergoing a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and was bothered by the appearance of her abdomen. She had symptoms from excess abdominal skin, including itching and irritation under the skin folds. She underwent a tummy tuck (without liposuction) during which 1744 g (3.8 pounds) of skin and fat was removed. Almost one foot of excess vertical skin was removed. Given the patient had massive weight loss and symptoms of excess skin, a portion of this surgery was covered by insurance.

This is a patient in her 50s who experienced contour irregularities after undergoing an abdominoplasty elsewhere. She underwent liposuction of the abdomen and flanks; a total of 250 cc of fat was removed. She also underwent a scar revision in the central aspect of the scar on the right side. This resulted in a much flatter, even contour of the abdomen.

This is patient in his 20s with excess skin and fat in the abdomen and love handles after a 90 pound weight loss. He underwent a circumfrential abdominoplasty, including a traditional abdominoplasty (with skin/fat excision and muscle tightening) and an oblique flankplasty (with skin/fat excision of the love handles). A total of 3240 g (7.1 pounds) of tissue was removed, which resulted in a nice, smooth contour around the waist.

This is a patient in his 50s with excess skin in his abdomen after undergoing liposuction with another surgeon. He wanted removal of this extra skin, especially in the upper abdomen. He underwent a skin-only abdominoplasty because he still had good abdominal muscle tone and did not require any muscle-tightening.

This is a patient in his 40s who wanted an improvement in the volume of his buttocks. He underwent a Brazilian butt lift; a total of 100 cc of fat was injected into the right buttocks and 105 cc of fat was injected into the left buttocks.

This is a patient in her 40s who was bothered by the appearance of her arms after a 140 pound weight loss. She was so self-conscious about her arms that she never wore shirts that showed this area. She also had so much extra skin and fat that she got rashes under the arms from the extra tissue. The arms also felt heavy. The patient underwent a brachioplasty (arm lift) to remove the extra skin and fat utilizing a technique to hide the scar in the best position possible. Can you find the scar?
