Tummy Tuck and Hernia Repair with Liposuction

This 48 year old patient needed her umbilical hernia repaired and chose to have her tummy tuck performed at the same time.  While we were at it, I suggested liposuction around the torso to give her a little more shape.  That's the way I find myself doing tummy tuck operations 90% of the time.
I called a friend of mine who is a general surgeon to fix the hernia because this one needed a mesh.  We worked together so that she didn't have to go through two separate operations and recoveries.
Her results are shown a year after the operation - at age 49!  During that time she has certainly gotten herself into terrific physicial condition and makes me look better than I am.  There is no replacement for physical fitness, but I think the tummy tuck and lipo help ;-)
She is looking great for her 50th Birthday Celebration!
