6 months post op Tummy Tuck Surgery

Thank you for your email. Without photos and/or examination, it is difficult to give you good advice. It seems that you have had a nice result with your tummy tuck, you are just concerned about when you bend over... there, unfortunately, are not creams or lotions that will tighten that skin. Best Wishes!

Concern about loose skin on abdomen following a tummy tuck when bending over

Without photos both in a standing position as well as bending over, it is difficult to provide you with an exact assessment of your result.

Regardless of the answer to the above, there are no creams or lotions that will magically tighten you skin.

Saggy Skin after Tummy Tuck

If you look better now after surgery, but only when standing up straight there are a couple of possiblities. One is that perhaps more skin could have been excised. The other is that ist is a normal occurrence. Your surgeon can determine if the muscle repair is still secure and whether indeed this is just a normal phenomena or residual loose skin.
