This is a 42 year old mother of four children who stated that she was feeling very down about her appearance and had essentially given up on taking care of herself.  She finally had the courage and motivation to make major changes in her life, including the decision to have body contouring surgery.  Her children were a source of encouragement to her!  She underwent abdominoplasty and liposuction.  The surgery was transformative, both externally and internally!.  She is seen before surgery and about 12 months post-op!
