41-year-old woman 5’2” tall, weight 232 lbs (body mass index of 44), with no history of pregnancy and a history of Cushing’s syndrome (endocrine gland disease that led to weight gain) who desired improvement in abdominal contour. She underwent liposuction of the abdomen and waist with the removal of 1600 cc of fatty tissue along with an abdominoplasty (lipo-abdominoplasty). She did not require tightening of the abdominal wall muscles as determined both before and during the operation.
