This professional woman in her early thirties was referred by one of her friends for concerns with her abdomen. Although she is in great shape, she demonstrates how even thin, athletic women suffer the consequences of pregnancy with muscle weakness causing the stomach to bulge and often resulting in a roll of skin when sitting. After a thorough discussion and exam, I offered her several surgical options with different types of abdominoplasty with various scar lengths. She chose to have a full abdominoplasty to get the benefit of maximal skin removal and muscle tightening at the same time, knowing that she could choose her scar location based on the type of bathing suite she preferred. She is quite pleased with her easily concealed scars and tight abdominal muscles even when standing relaxed.
