Lateral Vertical Abdominoplasty -- “Hourglassing”

This 58-year-old female patient had lost almost 50 pounds with a ketogenic diet and desired a more “hourglass” figure in the abdominal region. So, Dr. Katzen performed a bilateral vertical tummy tuck. The advantage of performing this procedure, instead of a standard tummy tuck, is being able to avoid a midline incision and give the patient a more distinct hourglass figure.
