Beverly Hills patient gets smaller abdomen with tummy tuck surgery.*

After losing 150 pounds from her highest weight of 362, this 38-year-old woman felt stronger and healthier than ever. However, the loose abdominal skin and weakened muscles left behind continued to affect her confidence and comfort. She met with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, who explained that a full tummy tuck could restore strength, remove redundant skin, and create a more proportionate silhouette. Confident in his expertise, she moved forward with the procedure. During surgery, Dr. Katzen repaired her abdominal muscle separation, rebuilding core integrity and improving posture. He then removed excess skin and carefully sculpted her abdomen, ensuring smooth transitions and a naturally positioned belly button. Recovery included compression therapy, guided activity, and consistent follow-up care. As she healed, she noticed a dramatic transformation—her abdomen became significantly flatter, her waist more sculpted, and her silhouette beautifully refined. She feels empowered and excited by her renewed shape. She is grateful she chose Dr. Katzen, whose precision, artistry, and compassionate approach made her experience truly exceptional.
