The improvement in the contour of her abdomen is marked. I collaborated with Scott Belsley, MD, FACS, a general surgeon, in this case. He used a biological mesh to repair the hernia. This mesh incorporatees into the body's own tissues after surgery.

Many patients elect to have liposuction of their backs at the same time as having lipoabdominoplasy. This further accentuates a woman's waist when viewed from the back and serves to maximally address upper buttock fat or "love handles."

The improvement in the appearance of her upper buttock fatty deposits or "love handles" was achieved by performing the lipoabdominoplasty and liposuction of the anterior flanks only. Further improvment could be achieved by performing targeted liposuction of the back, a procedure which can be done at the same time as the lipoabdominoplasty or any time afterwards.
