This case features a White woman in her 40s who chose board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Katzen for a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, to refine and tighten her abdomen. At 128 pounds on the day of surgery, she was close to her ideal weight but still had loose lower abdominal skin and a stubborn lower belly pouch that did not respond to diet and exercise. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Timothy Katzen made a low, gently curved incision along the bikini line, elevated the abdominal skin and fat, and tightened the stretched abdominal muscles with internal sutures to create a flatter, firmer core. He then removed excess skin and a thin layer of fat from the lower abdomen and carefully redraped the remaining tissue for a smoother, more toned contour. Her belly button was preserved and brought out through a new opening to sit naturally on the tightened abdominal wall. After closing the incision in multiple layers, she was placed in a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the new shape. These photos, taken just 1 month after tummy tuck surgery, already show a flatter profile, improved waistline definition, and a more youthful abdominal contour, with results expected to continue improving as swelling subsides and scars mature.

This case features a White female in her 40s who chose board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to refine and tighten her abdomen. At the time of surgery, she weighed 128 pounds and was close to her goal weight, but she still had loose lower belly skin and a mild bulge that did not respond to diet and exercise. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Timothy Katzen performed a full abdominoplasty. He made a low, curved incision along the bikini line, then lifted the abdominal skin and fat off the underlying muscles. The stretched rectus muscles were tightened with internal sutures from the rib cage to the pubic area, creating a firmer core and a flatter abdominal wall. Next, he removed extra skin and a thin layer of excess fat from the lower abdomen, then carefully redraped the remaining tissue for a smoother contour. Her belly button was preserved, brought through a new opening, and shaped to look natural on her newly contoured abdomen. After layered closure, she was placed in a compression garment to support healing, reduce swelling, and help the skin conform to its new shape. Just 1 month after tummy tuck surgery, already show remarkable results with a flatter profile, more defined waistline, and smoother lower abdomen, demonstrating how abdominoplasty with Dr. Timothy Katzen can deliver powerful body contouring plastic surgery results early in recovery.
