Umbilical Float Tummy Tuck
Provider: Dr. Hess
Age: 38
Gender: F
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 115
This case illustrates correction of a previously incorrect surgery. The previous surgeon performed a mini tummy tuck with an exceptionally long incision. The lower abdominal wall was tightened and skin was removed. Unfortunately, this resulted in a significant outward bulging of the upper abdomen and fullness above the belly button. I performed an umbilical float tummy tuck and tightened the entire abdominal wall which corrected her issues. She will still have a scar that is much higher than I would typically leave but I was restricted by her previous scar.
