Even with such early after surgery photographs, the new shape of the abdomen is seen. The extra fat has been treated by liposuction. The loose rectus muscles (abdominal wall "sit up" muscle) were tightened below the belly button. Notice the limited bruising and swelling one week after surgery.

The early wound still has Steri-Strips (special tape that supports the healing tissues about the incision. Remember this scar is only a week old! Her shape will continue to evolve.
