TUMMY TUCK BEFORE & AFTER PICTURE: Man, 54 Years Old         

PHOTOGRAPH: Two Days After Surgery, Stitches/Sutures Close-up View

This is a picture I took after I had my Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Plastic Surgery with Lateral Thigh Lift to remove excess sagging skin from my midsection (150 lb. weight loss). This a a close-up view of the stitches used for my Tummy Tuck operation two days after surgery. The top stitches show how the surgeon sews the two flaps of skin together. The lower stitches show how the surgical drain tubes are secured to the skin so they will not accidentally pull out.

Background: I am a 54 year old man who is 5' - 7 1/2" tall and had attained a weight of over 300 pounds. Over 2 years of dieting and daily exercise I reduced my weight to 155lbs (lost over 150 pound weight loss). This left me with a lot of excess skin around my belly and midsection. Since I didn't want to live with this for the rest of my life (See my "Before and After" Pictures), I decided to look into a Tummy Tuck operation.
