Before & After Tummy TuckSan Antonio, TX

Procedure: Tummy Tuck

This patient in her early 70’s proves it’s never too late to feel good in your own skin! Following pregnancies and over time, her abdominal wall had stretched out and her skin had become loose. Dr. Matthew Isakson suggested a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to help the patient reach her goals. During surgery her abdominal fascia was sewn up 6cm and her excess skin was pulled down and removed. She now has a cute youthful looking belly button, and her scar is easily hidden. She now feels more confident and comfortable in and out of her clothes!

This forty-something mother of four worked hard to get in shape after her last child stopped breastfeeding. She managed to lose 50 pounds with diet and exercise (and Mounjaro)! She loved the changes she was able to make on her own but wanted to have her pre-pregnancy tummy back.

After talking to Dr. Isakson about her concerns, they decided to perform a full tummy tuck with muscle repair (8 centimeters of fascial repair!) and liposuction. She was back in the gym within a month and loves the way her new wardrobe fits!

Procedure: Tummy Tuck
This twenty-something woman has been working hard in the gym! She has managed to go from a weight of 225lb down to 150lb with diet and exercise alone!
After giving her a huge high-five, she and Dr. Isakson discussed her concerns. Given her age and skin quality, her primary concern was her tummy. Because she has not had children and managed to lose weight before her abdominal muscles stretched too much, she was able to avoid having a muscle repair. With a full tummy tuck and a hernia repair (but no muscle repair), Dr. Isakson removed 3 pounds of skin and fat from her lower tummy. She loves her new look and how her clothes fit!
