Mother of 4 children in her late 20's who underwent a Tummy Tuck with Tumescent Liposuction. The patient had significant weight loss after pregnancy and was looking to get back to her pre-pregnancy shape.
Dr. Guarino started with Tumescent Liposuction on the waist and a standard Abdominoplasty incision was made from hip to hip. The patients abdominal muscles had weakened and separated due to multiple pregnancies therefore, the midline was plicated (abdominal muscles were sutured back together). A channel drain was inserted to reduce swelling and improve patients comfort and a compression garment was placed on the patient.
