Extended Tummy Tuck / Liposuction: Flanks & Upper Back

This woman was unhappy with the excess fat and excess skin on her lower body. No matter how much we workout, often stubborn pockets of fat and over-stretched skin can make us feel out of shape. When this patient decided to make a change, she came into the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Reston VA, near Washington DC for a free consultation. Her surgeon suggested an extended tummy tuck and liposuction to give her a more proportionate shape. This complex surgery is best completed by an experienced surgeon. After doing her own research, she chose one of Austin-Weston's board certified surgeons. She underwent a direct excision to remove hanging skin and a full tummy tuck to give her the dramatic results you see in the photos. Her surgeon also tightened loose muscles to help her maintain this look. The liposuction of her flanks and upper back were especially successful. Surgery is not always the answer for people who want to achieve massive weight loss, but for this patient, it was exactly what she needed. Since her surgery, she has maintained her new weight. She feels more beautiful and in control of her body. We love to help patients like this achieve their weight loss goals.
