Tummy Tuck / Liposuction Hips & Flanks and Inner Thighs

This woman was unhappy with her excess abdominal skin. No matter how much we workout, often stubborn pockets of fat and over-stretched skin can make us feel out of shape. As an avid runner, she was also unhappy with her thighs rubbing together. The chafing of her inner thighs was really slowing her down and getting in the way of living life to the fullest. So, she came into the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Reston VA, near Washington DC for a free consultation. Her surgeon recommended liposuction to reduce the size and shape of her hips, flanks, and thighs. He also suggested rectus plication, a type of abdominoplasty. After thinking about these procedures and exploring the idea with her family, she decided plastic surgery was right for her. Her board certified surgeon performed a full tummy tuck to remove sagging skin and liposuction for improving excess fat in strategic areas. After a typical recovery period, her body bounced back. She returned to running and no longer worries about her thighs rubbing together or her loose skin chafing. As a bonus, she loves her new look!
