Northern Virginia: Extended Abdominoplasty

No matter how much we workout and watch our diets, often stubborn pockets of fat and over-stretched skin can make us feel out of shape. This woman had been working hard to lose weight, but the excess fat and excess abdominal skin was simply not improving no matter what she tried. So, she came into the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Reston VA, near Washington DC for a free consultation. Her surgeon suggested a full tummy tuck. This complex surgery is best completed by an experienced surgeon during a single surgical session. Following some work with her therapist, she made the decision to get the procedure. Her surgeon performed liposuction and a direct excision to remove hanging skin. Surgery is not always the answer for people who want to achieve significant weight loss and we encourage each patient to do their own research. For this patient, plastic surgery was exactly what she needed to feel better about her body and her overall well-being. Since her surgery, she has maintained her new weight. She is thrilled with the new lease on life she received from her Austin-Weston surgeon.
