This mother of 4 consulted Dr. Lapuerta about a tummy tuck. She was at a comfortable, stable weight and she could not achieve a flat midsection, even though she dieted and exercised. After examination, Dr. Lapuerta informed the patient that from the pregnancies, her muscles had been stretched and the skin was loose. The abdominoplasty would correct this and she would achieve a great result, a flatter midsection. A year later after her tummy tuck, she came back and had a breast augmentation.
