✨ The Role of Overall Body Weight in Body Contouring Results
This patient in her 30s underwent a tummy tuck with Dr. Buchanan two years ago. Her initial outcome was smooth, balanced, and beautifully contoured — exactly what we strive for at VIVIFY plastic surgery.
Recently, she returned for her 2-year follow-up and shared something incredible: she has continued to lose weight since her surgery. As seen in her updated photos, overall body weight loss — especially a reduction in intra-abdominal fat (the fat around the internal organs) — has further improved her abdominal shape and definition.
This case highlights two key points:
1️⃣ Body contouring results continue to evolve with lifestyle changes, and reductions in internal fat can enhance the external contour created during surgery.
2️⃣ High-quality surgical technique stands the test of time. Even two years later, her results remain strong, stable, and beautifully enhanced by her personal progress.
We’re proud of her dedication and thrilled to see her long-term transformation continue to unfold.
