This female patient, a fit mother of two in her 40s from Boston, Massachusetts, maintained a healthy lifestyle but remained frustrated by persistent abdominal fullness and loose skin following pregnancy. She believed the fullness was stubborn fat, but Dr. Vickram Tandon diagnosed her with diastasis recti, or separation of the abdominal muscles.

She underwent an abdominoplasty with lipo 360 and abdominal wall repair to restore her core and create a flatter, more defined waistline. She is shown here less than two months post-operatively with beautiful early contour and improved abdominal definition. Her swelling will continue to resolve over the coming months as her final results develop, and she is thrilled with her transformation.
