Abdominoplasty Patient #2

This is a 64-year-old woman presented to Dr. Sweis complaining of having excess fullness along the abdomen. Since she did not have a significant amount of excess skin along the upper abdomen, Dr. Iliana Sweis proceeded with a lower abdominoplasty (mini-abdominoplasty) and liposuction of the upper abdomen. The postoperative photos were taken 3 months following the procedure. The scar is still red which is normal during the early healing period. In general, the color will fade over time during the healing process which varies with the patient’s age, skin type, genetics, degree of tension along the scar and techniques used to close the incision.
