Intradominal Fat*

This is a 33yr old female, mother of 5, desiring her pre-pregnancy abdomen. During the consultation, it was noted that she had visceral fat(fat that is stored within the abdominal cavity and is stored around a number of important internal organs) which could not be removed surgically. Dr. Guarino advised the patient that she would need to lose weight prior to getting a tummy tuck in order to achieve the best result. Over the course of 6 months, patient lost 39lbs, causing the protruding abdomen to flatten. The excess skin and fat remaining was than pulled, tighten, and excised, contouring her hips and abdomen.
