Patient Details
This 46-year-old patient wanted to restore a flatter, firmer abdomen and improve her waistline after pregnancy and age-related body changes. Her primary concerns included excess abdominal skin, abdominal laxity, and stubborn fat along the flanks that could not be improved with diet and exercise alone.
Dr. Mihail Climov performed an extended abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) combined with power-assisted flank liposuction to reshape her midsection. The tummy tuck removed excess skin and tightened the abdominal wall, while liposuction refined the waist to create smoother, more natural body contours. During the same operation, she also underwent breast augmentation with a lift as part of her overall body rejuvenation.
At 3 months after surgery, she is already enjoying a flatter abdomen, improved waist definition, and a more proportional silhouette. Her results will continue to improve as swelling resolves and scars mature over the coming months.

Why Combine a Tummy Tuck with Flank Liposuction?
A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles, but it does not address the fat deposits along the sides of the waist. Combining abdominoplasty with flank liposuction creates a more sculpted waistline and smoother transition between the abdomen and hips, producing a more comprehensive and natural-looking result.
Benefits
Individual results may vary. Final results continue to improve throughout the first year after surgery.
