Woman Travels to OKC for Mommy Makeover WithTummy Tuck and Liposuction*

This patient, a woman in her 50s, traveled from Dallas to OKC to have a mommy makeover procedure with Dr. Nuveen. Pregnancy and childbirth created physical changes to her body that she wanted to correct, including loose skin on her abdomen and excess fat on her flanks (love handles). Frustrated, knowing that surgery was most likely the only option to remove and tighten her abdominal area, she met with Dr. Nuveen and a custom treatment plan was tailored for her. Dr. Nuveen performed a full tummy tuck (known as abdominoplasty), which removes loose skin on the abdomen, tightens the underlying tissues, and creates a flat, toned tummy. He also used liposuction to remove pockets of fat that remained around her abdomen and flanks to create a gorgeous new contour that resembles her pre-pregnancy appearance. With the loose skin gone, she can continue to reshape her figure with a healthy lifestyle. Skin removal surgery is a cosmetic procedure ideal for weight loss patients and women who have had one or multiple pregnancies.
