Tummy Tuck Before & After Photos
Tummy tuck results from Dr. Gehaan D’Souza in Carlsbad. This is the largest collection of surgical results on this site after breast augmentation, and every set is a patient of this practice, photographed in the same positions and lighting before and after.
Read the case listings alongside the photographs. Most abdominoplasty results here involve more than skin removal — muscle repair and liposuction of the waist are commonly part of the same operation, and that combination is why the change in shape is often more pronounced than skin removal alone would produce. A result that looks unreachable may simply reflect a different combination from the one your own situation calls for.
What to look for
Compare the profile views first. The flatness of the abdomen tells you what skin removal achieved; the definition of the waist tells you whether liposuction was part of it; and the position of the navel is the detail that most reliably separates careful work from ordinary work. Then look at the scar. It runs low across the abdomen, and the after photographs show it plainly rather than cropping it out.
Where these overlap with other galleries
Patients often arrive unsure whether they need a tummy tuck at all. If the concern is fullness rather than loose skin, the liposuction gallery is the more useful comparison. If breast changes after pregnancy matter as much as the abdomen, see the mommy makeover gallery. After major weight loss, when loose skin continues around the hips and back, the body lift gallery is the closer match.
