Abdominoplasty Case 398

After three pregnancies, this particular patient, a 30-year-old woman came to me seeking relief from a painful belly button hernia and loose abdominal skin. Her choice to undergo an abdominoplasty in Toledo was primarily motivated by the discomfort of the hernia and her desire for a smoother, firmer abdominal profile. To assist her in achieving these goals, I employed a technique known as lateral tension abdominoplasty paired with power-assisted liposuction targeting her hip rolls. A supportive medical colleague expertly handled her hernia repair.

The procedure was an unqualified success, renewing not only the physical appearance but also the overall confidence of the patient. These positive outcomes reaffirmed her decision to pursue abdominoplasty in Toledo. Her satisfaction is evident in the 'before' and 'after' photos that signify a significant transformation - a flatter, firmer abdominal contour that is proportionate with her body type and weight.

This gratifying outcome is a testament to the comprehensive menu of cosmetic services offered by my practice. As Craig Colville MD, FACS, I have been board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 1992 and have helped many patients similarly looking for abdominoplasty in Toledo. My medical degree from Indiana University serves as the foundation of my extensive expertise in plastic surgery, further refined through general surgery and plastic surgery residencies at the same institution. My passion for education and professional development reflects in the personalized care and natural-looking results my patients consistently achieve. I am privileged to serve as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Toledo Medical Center, extending my skills and knowledge to the next generation of surgeons.
