Four months after abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), this patient has achieved a dramatically flatter, more contoured abdomen with improved waist definition and removal of excess skin. The incision is healing well and will continue to soften and fade as scar maturation progresses over the coming months. You may notice mild discoloration near the left hip in these photos, which is temporary and expected to resolve with time. As healing continues, residual swelling will diminish and the final contour will become even more refined.
