This 27 year old mother had recently given birth to her child. After trying the at-home remedies to get rid of the excess skin and stretch marks that she had leftover, she started doing some research to correct these issues. Once she found the board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Bivik Shah, she came in to Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery for a consultation. He explained to her that the only way to get rid of this excess skin and stretch marks is to cut them out. Together they decided upon an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) for her. As you can see here, her area of concern was corrected completely! The muscles were also tightened for a nice smooth look, and the scar is hidden away below her bikini line. The after photo here was taken 7 months after surgery.
