Before and after pictures abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)

Abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck” continues to be a very sought after, but also very frequently misunderstood operation. In my practice I do still frequently see patients who seem to be of the opinion that abdominoplasty is a weight loss operation which it is absolutely not, but should rather be labelled as a body reshaping operation.

We do here case examples of abdominoplasty surgery out of our practice:

Patient after substantiative weight loss

Rectus muscle laxity

Lax skin with stretchmarks

Diet resistant fat deposits (love handles)

Result after abdominoplasty

Rectus muscle plication

Liposuction flanks (love handles)

6 months post surgery

We do also frequently combine abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with breast surgery

Patient with weight loss

Sagginess of breasts

Rectus muscle diastasis

Lax stretched skin

Result

Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck)

Together with reast uplift and augmentation

Inverted T-scar with subglandular implants

Liposuction flanks

Will aesthetic medicine rise average facelift age?

Possibly yes, however, aesthetic medicine is a widespread field where different treatments are applied for different symptoms. Aesthetic medicine can definitely not replace facelift surgey on a wider range , but we do observe the average “entrance” facelift age for  being slightly on the rise.

Certain aesthetic medical measures, such as dermal fillers, facial resurfacing and mesotherapy, have a preventetive effect that can withhold the effects of dermal aging but it can not withold the effects of gravity on your face.  I personally feel that in cases of moderate soft tissue sagginess of the face and increasing wrinkling effects effective aesthetic medical measures can herald significant results and enhance appearence, therefore not replacing a facelift, but prolonging the period till such is desired. In patients requiring a facelift, I think the easiest way to describe the difference is to make them aware of the difference between  gravity related changes and changes in the skin structure by aging effects. A facelift tackles the gravity effect, but not the skin structure.

Additionally , the result of a facelift can be considerably enhanced by additional aesthetic measures, so combination of the two can make a lot of sense.
