Case #5077

This patient had liposuction of the abdomen, sides and back with fat transfer to the hips to produce an unbelievable change in contours. The abdomen looks completely smooth despite the preoperative lumpy appearance. In some cases, Dr. Hughes’s liposuction is so perfect that with favorable healing some patients who would have required tummy tuck can avoid tummy tuck. Although dermatologists and other plastic surgeons may promote SmartLipo or Vaser or other variants for skin tightening, Dr. Hughes has gotten great results without these modalities and their risks for significant burns.
