About the procedure: Tummy Tuck
This patient, after having multiple children and undergoing weight fluctuations, was dealing with excess skin in her abdomen and mons pubis, along with a hernia. Her physical discomfort was further exacerbated by back and neck pain, caused by the strain from the extra skin weight and muscle separation. In addition to performing a Tummy Tuck with Pubic Lift, Dr. Cat’s general surgeon colleague also successfully repaired the hernia. Dr. Cat repaired about 5 centimeters of muscle separation, and she removed a foot of skin, weighing 6 pounds and 5 ounces. The combined procedures resulted in a tight, flat abdomen, a natural-looking belly button, and a thin, low, barely visible incision. She is 3 months post-op and she is no longer burdened by the physical discomforts that once plagued her. This patient now enjoys a renewed sense of ease and confidence in her body, grateful for the comprehensive and skillful care she received.
