After Massive Weight Loss Before & After Case 1275

This patient came to The Wall Center for Plastic Surgery carrying significant loose, hanging skin across the abdomen and torso following a 65-pound weight loss. The before photos show a large pannus with folds of excess skin extending from the abdominal wall, with substantial tissue laxity visible from every angle.

Seth Fruge MD performed an extended tummy tuck combined with 360 SAFELipo to address the redundant skin and soft tissue circumferentially. The extended tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the underlying abdominal wall, while the 360 SAFELipo component treats tissue around the full circumference of the torso.

For those considering after massive weight loss in Shreveport, this case illustrates what hanging abdominal skin following significant weight reduction can look like, and what surgical body contouring may address. Shown four months after surgery, the after photos reflect a markedly flatter abdominal profile, with the pannus reduced and the torso contour visibly tighter across the front and sides compared to the before images.

The patient has described feeling energetic and loving her life in her smaller frame.
