Our patient, an active grandmother in her 70s, sought improvement in abdominal contour despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and lean physique. Aging, pregnancy, and natural tissue laxity can affect the abdomen even in patients who are otherwise in excellent shape.
Her customized surgical plan included conservative VASER liposuction to refine small areas of residual fat, repair of rectus diastasis, tightening of the abdominal fascia, and removal of excess skin. Care was taken to preserve a natural appearance while restoring abdominal tone and proportion. The umbilicus was reshaped and positioned for a youthful, natural look, with incisions designed to be discreet and well concealed.
As shown in these before and after photos, her abdominal contour is significantly improved, with a flatter profile and smoother waistline. The low abdominal incision is hidden beneath underwear and swimwear, and the belly button appears natural with no visible scarring. The final result reflects a refreshed, age-appropriate abdomen that resembles that of a much younger patient while respecting her natural anatomy.
We are very pleased with her outcome and honored that she trusted Levesque Plastic Surgery for her tummy tuck surgery. This case demonstrates that advanced abdominoplasty techniques can provide safe, natural, confidence-restoring results for well-selected patients over 70.
