The before and after pictures above depict ACTUAL PATIENTS. Your results may vary.
This busy 38-year-old woman had two children and worked at home. She was at a healthy weight, but didn't like the flabby look of her hips, thighs, and buttocks, and wanted to find out if a tummy tuck or liposuction in the Visalia area would be the best solution.
The patient scheduled a consultation with Dr. Lopez to discuss her options for Fresno - Visalia plastic surgery. Dr. Lopez evaluated her needs and recommended an Avelar tummy tuck along with liposuction to help slim down her thighs. This specific type of tummy tuck uses smaller incisions than the traditional version, along with special suture techniques that allow for a more comfortable recovery. The patient agreed with Dr. Lopez's recommendation, and was given instructions on how she should prepare for the day of surgery.
Dr. Lopez performed a full Avelar tummy tuck, in which she tightened the patient's loose abdominal muscles and removed excess fat and skin. Dr. Lopez then performed liposuction to remove fat from around the patient's hips, outer thighs, and buttocks, completing her body contouring procedure. Compression garments are necessary during the first stages of healing, but the Avelar tummy tuck does not require surgical drains.
Following her recovery, she shows a dramatic difference in the shape and smoothness of her figure. While she still has curvaceous hips, they now look slimmer, more feminine, and much more flattering for her body.
