Before & After Gallery – Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery is intended to improve the appearance of your belly following weight fluctuation or pregnancy. Patients who seek this surgery will typically complain of increased abdominal girth. They may also struggle with sagging and/or fullness of the skin around the waistline. When considering a tummy tucking procedure two options are available; these include the full or mini tummy tuck.
Full Tuck
The full tuck allows for maximal resection of redundant abdominal skin. It also tighten the abdominal muscles when they have thinned out and weakened. However, the full tummy tuck prevents abdominal etching to be performed using high definition protocol. In contrast, the mini tummy tuck involves excision of redundant skin limited to the lower abdomen.
Mini Tuck
The mini tuck has the advantage of allowing for complete abdominal etching via high definition liposuction of the entire abdominal skin but the disadvantage of not allowing for a muscle tightening maneuver.

Tummy tuck before and after photos – What to Look For
Tummy tuck before and after photographs must be evaluated with strict expectations. The first expectation should be an aesthetically pleasing belly button. When the umbilicus is made as an innie belly button, then patients can expose their bellies and enjoy wearing two-piece bikinis. The next expectation is to have a low incision line that can be covered by undergarments or a bikini bottom. A third consideration is creating beautiful lateral curves that is described by the hourglass shape. An hourglass shape requires a snatched waistline and generous hips. In addition, these two regions must be connected by a smooth transition around the flanks; this means not leaving any prominence in the flanks, termed dog ears. A final expectation is a feminine belly contour that possesses a concave upper belly and slightly convex lower belly below the belly button as it rounds out the pelvic region.
