Tummy Tuck, Abdominoplasty, Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty, Flank Liposuction, Liposuction. This 40-year-old female patient had two children and was left with excess sagging skin in her abdominal area as a result. She came to Aristocrat looking for solutions to get her pre-baby body back. After consulting with Dr. Tehrani, she underwent a lateral tension abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), with a bilateral flank liposuction. Her Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty (LTA) was made using a bikini line or low incision. The technique allowed Dr. Tehrani to tighten her entire abdominal area. Excess skin is removed, and liposuction is performed to remove excess fat. The abdominal muscles are also tightened. The lateral tension abdominoplasty naturally preserves the blood supply to the abdomen and lowers the risks associated with traditional tummy tuck techniques. Following her post-op recovery, our patient’s body now has a trimmer looking hour-glass shape that she is happier with.
