This 49-year-old patient had recently had gastric bypass surgery and lost a subsequent 100 pounds with the procedure. Unfortunately, she was dealing with loose skin as a result.
With a significant weight loss like this, any individual will certainly achieve a brand-new figure. Still, it isn’t without other side effects, one of which is loose skin. Not only that, but the underlying muscles of the abdomen may have also become separated in many cases following significant weight loss. Only a tummy tuck can solve these issues.
This patient decided to undergo both a tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) and abdominal muscle plication.
